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.

SixUp is a very sturdy Ice Dragon. He's been in all sorts of accidents and fights, but he never gets hurt. He seems like a very unlucky dragon at first glance, but he is as sure-footed as a mountain goat and as graceful as a cat; even though he gets into trouble he always seems to keep his cool and escape. He can balance on almost anything, and even if he falls he always lands on his feet. SixUp is often compared to a cat, and some dragon wit said he has "9 lives" just as a cat does.
