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.

People may assume that ice dragons must live in a place with a cold climate, but that is not so. Potrero resides in a habitat with a variable temperature, sometimes chilly one day and confusingly hot the next, though warm on average. The place has a few humans wandering through, but they usually stay in the town about a mile away and definitely don't bug the terrifying-looking ice dragon.
