Ice Dragons are fierce predators who hunt using their extremely cold breath. The breath of an ice dragon can freeze its prey solid in seconds. The body of an ice dragon is so cold that icicles will form along its skin no matter the outside temperature.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

As the child of both an Ice and a Guardian, Tundra operates on the more peaceful side of fierce. He does not hesitate when a fight is required; however, he is content to operate in a more passive manner. Because of this and his general low-key demeanor, many consider him lazy. 'Gentle' is the last thing anyone would call him, however; he is actually rather manipulative, acting as a silver-tongued 'adviser' to those with power when there are political or other gains to be had, but is blunt to those from whom there is no gain to be had. Like the other Trios in his clan, he operates less for his own selfish motives and more for the good of the collective—in his case, almost exclusively for the Trios.
