Little is known about The Icegore's story, only that it is a cryptid monster that appears during blizzards. It also lost an eye and a foot during an unknown event. After this, it is known that it encountered Yngya, with whom it reached an agreement to live in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. Yngya offered it food in exchange for the Icegore not harming her lambs, and it may also have left necklaces on the Shrine they built for it. After Yngya's disappearance, The Icegore is seen attending to the offerings even when the Shrine receives them.
Belief
The Icegore is a cryptid monster, believed to be a creature that awakens during blizzards due to the hunger it feels during this weather event.
Skills
It appears that their footsteps are capable of generating ice, something that was already mentioned in their relic.
It is also mentioned that they has an icy gaze, and from what can be seen in their relic, they was able to freeze with it.
Personality
Despite being a cryptid monster, the Icegore is capable of understanding and conducting exchanges, accepting offerings and, in return, leaving necklaces on the Shrine. It also appears to sleep a great deal during periods when there are no blizzards. It also shows a certain degree of savagery, but it seems that it does not let itself be carried away by this nature.
Next God
I'm here to clarify that I did this before the Gods of Gold because I had already been bombarded with this information today. And then they will be the next gods. I'm sorry if this bothers some people, but I hope you understand. Also, the last section didn't get much support, so I'm wondering how long to continue this section, or if I should set a like goal to keep going. Well, I'll keep thinking about it, I hope you like it.

What do you think a reunion between Yngya and her cryptid monster (The Icegore) would be like? Would Icegore recognize her? Would it expect her to give it a snack?
Other way around, Icegore would give her a snack because she's so tiny now, clearly she must be starving!
So Yngya ended up with a bunch of icy pine needles in her mouth.
It wouldn't recognize her at first, since she smells different and it can't see her anymore, but her voice is more or less the same and it could never forgot that calming voice.
Icegore missed her dearly, not just for the offerings she'd leave it, but for the company. Blizzards didn't bother her so she would sit out with it during them.
Once Yngya was gone, the Icegore got very lonely. :( The Lamb bringing it friends agian really made it's day so much so it brought out the good necklaces as a reward.
❄️Icegore Theories and what they could mean for Potential Future Updates:
Recently, in the Woolhaven trailers it's revealed, that the God of Winter, Yngya, is still alive albeit in a physically atrophied state from what we've seen so far, but it was also revealed that another deity known as The Icegore is also alive.
This is interesting to see because it's heavily stated that the Bishops Of The Old Faith killed most of the other Gods in the pantheon to ensure that only the five of them would remain. The ones that they didn't kill were said to have gone into hidding or straight up left on by their own volition or possibly in exile. But with The Icegore they've pretty much been confirmed to have been dead way back since the start of the game seeing as their leg and eye have been turned into relics by Chemach, who makes them from fallen gods.
❄️Which lead me to these theories:
The Icegore, much like the Bishops, was trapped in their own purgatory/limbo, but with the re-awakening of Yngya or Marchosias' experiments has opened up the pathway to The Icegore's freedom.
We might not know what Icegore's relationship to either Yngya or Marchosias is like that the moment, but seeing as Icegore represents...well...Ice, and yetis are often associated with living on isolated mountains, it's safe to assume that they might have been allies with Yngya at one point prior to the game's events, further evidencedby the snowflake sigil on their eye patch. Perhaps even the guardian of the mountains Woolhaven is located in.
Marchosias found the rest of Icegore's remains and harnessed their powers to use in their eternal winter machines across the mountains. Seeing as how both of their relics are associated with freezing things temporarily, it's more than likely that the rest of their body still has at least a fraction of their divine power left.
Icegore died via bludgeoning. We don't know what their final moments were, but judging by their missing limbs, ichor coming from their eyes, and what looks like a sharp rock sticking out from the top of their head. They probably spent their final moments fighting for their lives or someone else's lives, still staying alive through sheer stubbornness and will power despite losing an eye and a leg in the battle, only losing the fight due to a significant blood loss thus giving their opponent the opportunity to grab the nearest rock/boulder and bash in their head.
This last bit is completely speculative, but seeing as how at least two gods have returned to the pantheon, we might see the return of other fallen or forgotten deities which might spell bad news for everyone once more. The former Bishops especially because there's a very, VERY strong chance that the gods they once killed off for power might just come looking for them to settle the score.
This could lead to one of two scenarios:
The fallen Gods seek out The Lamb's cult and demand that they surrender one or all of the bishops or suffer their wrath in the form of a plague.
They pull a Narinder and send out chosen vessels/champions instead. They can be either followers who never stopped praying/believing in them or randomly chosen individuals who are now stuck in a very unfortunate situation.
For thw first scenario: accepting to surrender the bishop they ask for will result in them being permanently sacrificed, but refusing to do so cause them to curse the cult with a unique divine punishment depending on which God gets rejected.
At best It can range from inconveniences like say bad crops, low morale, diarrhea plague, etc.
At medium it can become a bit tricky to manage like Insatiable Hunger, monsters attacking the cult at night, more fighting amongst followers, etc.
At worst they send in straight up biblical event level threats to get their point across. Such as, a massive flood, shrouding the land in darkness for three days, forcing your followers to dance until they die, etc.
There's three ways to stop this, but they're not all guaranteed...except for one:
1. Surrender the bishop(s)
2. Make an offering to them to appease them
3. Go full-on God of War and kill them all. (This is the guaranteed one that will stop their wrath and earn you a new follower.)
For the second scenario, if it did come down to them choosing or forcing a new vessel to fight on their behalf, I imagine that they'd be sent out to either fight the Lamb or the bishops directly, sneak into the cult grounds to kidnap the bishops directly or perhaps challenge the lamb to a gladiator style fight in different arenas that reflects their patrons.
It'd be like several waves of enemies to fight with increased difficulty as the battle rages on, then you fight the chosen champion, until finally you end up fighting against their god. If you chose to spare the champion after their fight not only will you have a new follower to your cult, but you also have a 50/50 chance of having them as an ally on the final fight of that arena(entirely depends on how they were chosen) to help you fight against their god who you also have the chance to spare or fight them again in purgatory.
This is all I have for now. Hopefully we get a major lore drop in Woolhaven and we see what lies ahead for the Cult's future. So here's to more COTL in the future! 🐑❄️🐐
Plus I kinda want to see some more cotl gods and apocalyptic level threats...And the bishops to slowly realize how badly they fucked up. >:3c
One interesting detail I found in the script is that there would apparently be a type of enemy called Snowmans, and it seemed they would be the followers of The Icegore.
This made me think of two things. The first being that I imagined The Icegore as the parent of the Snowlambs.
And the second, and more important, question is whether The Icegore and the Snowlambs share a common origin? In other words, did the same thing that gave life to the Snowlambs also give life to The Icegore? I wonder about it a little now.

More cut content discoveries, today's being that The Icegore was going to be a unique follower with a special way to obtain it
And if you recall, there was a unique build that would give The Icegore a Blizzard mechanic. Table of Offering, this structure allowed you to sacrifice animals to bring the Blizzard in exchange for necklaces and resources. The second mechanic, which is even more ancient in this structure, was that when the Blizzard arrived, you would have to make a sacrifice or The Icegore would come to your cult to kill a follower or an animal.
The mechanic that matters to us is the second one, because in this one, if instead of sacrificing an animal, you sacrificed 5 Snowmans (codename for Snowlambs), The Icegore would be converted into a Unique Follower. It would have the default traits of Warm Blooded and Aestivation.
An egg from The Icegore
One small detail: the name of these sprites refers to that snowball as an egg, which tells us that The Icegore has an egg, which suggests it will have future offspring. And in the absence of another specimen like it, it is probably a species that reproduces asexually.
