Physiology
Glalie resembles nothing more than a large ball of ice with black spots. It has black pointy ears and an evil-looking face.
Gender differences
Glalie has none, but is said to be technically the male evolution of Snorunt, because of its appearance and the introduction of Froslass. However, there can still be female Glalie.
Special abilities
Glalie's abilities are similar to those of its pre-evolution, only stronger. In fact, Glalie's icy powers are now strong enough to wield Sheer Cold. Other new moves include Dark Pulse, Earthquake, Gyro Ball and Explosion. Since Glalie is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

Glalie tends to be mischievous. They can block paths in order to trap travelers that dwell into mountain tops or caves. Despite its physical disposition, Glalie are very loyal Pokémon. They are often misjudged by their unfriendly appearance.
Habitat
Glalie live in deep cold caves and sometimes high atop mountain caps hidden within dark crooks of mountains. They have also been found to sleep withing large Ice fissures created by moving glaciers.

Sprites
- Despite being described as having a body made of rock it is not of the Template:Type2.
- Glalie is one of only four pure Template:Type2 Pokémon, along with Snorunt, Regice, and Glaceon.
- Although Glalie can float in the air in the anime, it does not have the ability to Levitate in the games.
- Glalie bears a resemblance to a rice ball, and its Japanese name even sounds similar to the word onigiri. In all actuality, Glalie could be described as an ice ball, one letter off.
Origin
It shares physical similarities with a hockey goalie's mask, as well as with a form of traditional Japanese mochi.
Name origin
Glalie's name is likely a combination of glacier and goalie. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鬼 oni, demon, and 氷 kōri, ice. It also maybe a combination of oni and goalie. Its name could also be a pun on お握り onigiri, rice ball, to which it has a slight resemblance.
