I wanted to post this first but technically this isnt a terrara fanart (yet?) so i decided to draw something else first , ill still finish this one but only when i have some extra free time.
This is Cryos My character in game, he was inspired by arthas and ilidan from frozen throne , his backstory is pretty simple really, and i sorta retconned it after terraria released an official lore, but it didnt affect it that much....
Cryos is a part of an ancient race of snow elves back when the surface was in an ice age, they were on a constant war against the dragons and their numbers slowly dwindled, during the final battle Cryos was the only snow elf left alive while all the dragons have been wiped out, but as a result of the brutal conflict he was severely injured , he froze himself inside an ice mountain for to recover from his injuries,he sat there frozen for millions of years until the solar pillar melted him from from his slumber, the first thing he saw as he stepped out his mountain cave was the moonlord as it was about to be defeated by the terrarian...
long story short He captain america'ed himself only to wake up and suddenly everything was different and nobody even knew about his existence or the existence of his people, he wants to freeze the world once more since he sees the current one "not as it should be" And because of that him and the terrarian are constantly clashing in combat.
a few things to note:
*He isnt like any average humans, he is around 5 blocks tall , snow elves heights are indications of how strong they are.
*he is technically not a villain? he wouldnt kill anyone for no reason, And he has never done so after being unfrozen.
*he doesnt understand why people like a non frozen wasteland, and tries his best to show people how beautiful the world once was (he sees unfrozen things as disgusting as he has never seen them before, and the only ones that were unfrozen back then was hell which he also attributes to the parts of the world that isnt an ice biome)
*i think he would look best as a mount transformation than a vanity .
