Marshmallow is a character and party member in Kingdom Hearts III.

Personality[]

He is shown to be a loyal and prudent bodyguard who keeps every intruder outside of Elsa's castle. However, he is shown to be relentless at the slightest sign of provocation. When Elsa is taken away, Marshmallow is shown to be helpless and desperate. Sometime after Master Xehanort's defeat, he is shown picking up Olaf's parts while smiling, showing a playful side.

Physical Appearance[]

Marshmallow is a hulking behemoth of a snowman, whose joints are comprised of ice rather than sticks, unlike Olaf. His fingers are made from rounded icicles, and are really sharp as knives, with his elbows and knees having sheets of ice on them like knee and elbow pads. As he is angered further, it is shown that Marshmallow's eye sockets light up demonically, and ice spikes will protrude from multiple parts of his body. It is shown that he gains ice spikes on his back, somewhat like the quills of a porcupine and/or hedgehog, as well as ice growing along his arms. His ice fingers sharpen to become talons, and fangs will grow alongside his jawline. This helps make him a more formidable fighter, as well as making him appear more threatening.

History[]

Kingdom Hearts III[]

Marshmallow is first seen exiting the Ice Palace with AnnaKristoff, and Olaf in his hands. He ignores Anna's demands to put them down and throws them down the staircase. Anna then angrily throws a snowball that hits his shoulder, angering the snowman. SoraDonald, and Goofy lead him away while the others escape. Marshmallow then engages them in a hard battle that ends with the monster stumping hard on the ground when the trio is standing on edge of a cliff. The force of his strength causes the edge to collapse and the trio descends. Sometime later, Elsa is kidnapped by Hans; Marshmallow runs into the trio on his way to rescuing Elsa and agrees to work with them. He helps them defeat Heartless on the way to Arendelle, shields them from a powerful snowstorm, then assists them in defeating Sköll when they fall into a dark abyss underground. Upon defeating the powerful Heartless, Marshmallow shields his new friends from a blast, but its force knocks him back and eventually sends all of them back to the ground above. Marshmallow is later seen bringing Olaf's disassembled body to Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Sven.

Origin[]

Marshmallow first appeared in the 2013 Disney film Frozen as Elsa's bodyguard. Elsa first creates him to shut out Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf when they come to convince her to return to Arendelle. He pursues the trio off of the North Mountain, and later attempts to protect Elsa's castle when Anna's fiancée Hans arrives with an army to capture Elsa, only to fall presumably to his death when Hans cuts off one of Marshmallow's legs. Later, Marshmallow returns to Elsa's castle and reclaims her tiara, making himself king.
