'''Marshmallow''' is a character from [[Arendelle]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. He originated in the Disney film ''{{w|Frozen (2013 film)|Frozen}}''. 

He is a snow monster created by [[Elsa]] to serve as her bodyguard.

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Marshmallow is created by [[Elsa]]'s strong desire to be alone, taking the form of a brutish snowman. He then promptly evicts [[Anna]], [[Kristoff]] and [[Olaf]] from Elsa's ice palace, but turns aggressive when Anna throws a snowball at him. However, before he can give chase to the trio, [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] block the giant and lead him to another area, where they use the area's trees to wallop him. Although they are able to hold their own, Marshmallow manages to corner them on a rocky outcropping, which he breaks off causing them to fall down the mountain.

Later, Marshmallow pursues [[Hans]] down the mountain, trying to rescue the kidnapped Elsa, and runs into Sora and his friends. When Sora explains that they are trying to help Elsa as well, Marshmallow helps them down the mountain, shielding them from the growing storm.

Once Hans fails to kill Elsa, the [[darkness]] in his heart births [[Sköll]], which transfers the quartet to a dark area. During the battle, Marshmallow helps repel the [[Heartless]]'s most powerful attack alongside Sora.

Sometime after [[Master Xehanort]]'s defeat, Marshmallow catches Olaf, whose parts ended up separated before fixing himself.

==Design==
Marshmallow is a large golem made of snow and ice, with the majority of his body being composed of snow. Icy protrusions function as Marshmallow's fingers. His eyes and mouth consist of gaps in the snow that makes up his head.

==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 whenever Elsa is not around.

Sometime after [[Xehanort|Master Xehanort]]'s defeat, he is shown picking up Olaf's parts while smiling, showing a playful side.

==Abilities==
{{main|Game:Marshmallow}}
As an enemy, Marshmallow primarily attacks using his claws or leaping closer to the party and creating a shockwave upon impact. He also has an attack where he faces forward and breathes ice, inflicting {{c|Freeze|Status}} on nearby targets. He can also cover himself in spikes, granting him armor and powering up his attacks.

As a party member, Marshmallow shares many of the same characteristics and attacks that he has in his boss fight. He is exclusively focused on offense and tanking hits, having no item slots but an exceptionally high base [[HP]] stat. His attacks are best suited to dealing with multiple enemies, with good range on his basic attacks and a wide shockwave for his [[Leaping Smash]] abilities. He can also prove useful in disabling enemies by freezing them with [[Cold Breath]]. Marshmallow uses his [[Ice Claws]] as his weapon.

Marshmallow's [[Team Attack]] is [[Mighty Avalanche]], where Marshmallow teams up with Sora and enters a state similar to the armored state used in his boss fight. In the Team Attack he can perform a series of swift claw attacks and summon a field of ice crystals before shattering them to damage enemies.

Marshmallow's base stats are 30 {{AP}}, 300 HP, and 100 [[MP]]. He has 3 armor slots, 2 accessory slots, and 0 item slots.
