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.

Elliot Frozenheart is a cool ice dragon with a pessimistic, defeatist attitude. Elliot is known to sulk in the coldest corners of the cave after something in his life goes wrong, from a bad hunt to a fight with another dragon about his negative outlook. He has a daughter, Irene Frozenheart, who he fears suffers from the same depression that he does. Recently, he met Carlotta Grams, a pretty pink dragon who took an interest in him. They were married, but Elliot isn't sure he loves her.
