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.

It's Just Frozen Water was named after the way other young dragons used to tease him as a hatchling. Before he matured, he was rather weak. Older dragons would ignore him as he repeated his futile attempts for attention. His fellow hatchlings at the time would laugh and remind him that all he had to prove his worth was frozen water. While his physical power has increased since then, he's still emotionally vulnerable. Often, he chooses to spend his days in solitude, approaching other creatures only if he plans to eat them.
