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.

WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT is named that, in glorious all-caps, because he shouts that all the time. During his short stint as a stage entertainer at a thermopolium, he had a whole song about this "pussycat", which was probably a metaphor for a pretty lady, not an actual cat. "WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT, WOAH-WOAH-WOAAAH," he'd bellow. Once WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT finished the fourth "WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT", most people around were going crazy. After 15 minutes of the same song, the dragon sang something new, something softer and more upbeat, to everyone's relief and joy. He returned to the pussycat song, and the entire bar was in a furor. Eleven "WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT"S later, WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT was forcibly removed from the thermopolium. He wasn't a very good entertainer.
