It is an ancient Ice Dragon that is awoken by [[Wilfre]] to imprison [[Heather]] and to destroy [[Hero|The Hero]] as well as [[Rapoville]]. Frostwind resides in the fifth level of the [[Snow Gate]].
  
Frostwind is awoken by [[Wilfre]] to destroy the village after he himself fails to steal the [[Book of Life]], due to being confronted by the [[Hero]], [[Mari]], and [[Jowee]]. Shortly after he leaves the village, the ground begins to shake, sending the Raposa into a panic. The [[Mayor]] then instructs the Hero to go into the Snow Gate to defeat Frostwind, to keep it from destroying the village.

This boss battle is composed of three "phases" in which the player must navigate through in order to defeat Frostwind and to save [[Heather]]. Frostwind has four health, though it cannot be damaged by projectiles or regular jump-attacks, and inflicts damage to the player through contact and ice-spike projectiles.

The battle with Frostwind is separated into three sections, or phases.
  
In the first phase, Frostwind chases the [[Hero]] throughout a semi-flat segment of the level with many "bottomless" pits. Once the battle begins, the screen will auto-scroll to the right, forcing the player to keep moving at a steady rate. The player must stay in the center of the moving screen and fire occasionally at Frostwind using their [[Snowshooter]] in order to keep the boss from getting too close and inflicting damage through contact. Shots fired at Frostwind will not inflict damage to it, and will only prevent the boss from advancing closer to the player. At some points, Frostwind will fly into random pits in order to ambush the Hero as they approach.

Now, the player is limited to a single, small, flat, elevated platform with [[Heather]] trapped in a cage hanging from a ledge far above the player. The player must now avoid projectile and contact-based attacks from Frostwind. Frostwind may now be damaged during this phase by shooting the boss to temporarily stun it, then butt-stomping (commonly called ground-pounding) its head.

After losing three-quarters of its health, Frostwind will gain a red tint and his attacks and movements will become faster. This indicates the third and final phase. If the player runs out of ammunition or is heavily damaged during the second and third phases, Heather will occasionally throw out helpful items to assist them.
