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.

Inlandsis is a closed off dragon who dislikes the company of others. When she must speak to someone, she is curt to the point of rudeness. She won't, however, attack anyone except in self-defense. Inlandsis's behavior succeeded in driving away every other dragon except for Ivory S, a silly Striped dragon. Inlandsis finds him annoying but his presence is convenient when she needs a male dragon to mate with.
