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.

Ding grew up under a constant assault of music—namely, the sounds that icicles make whenever they clink against a surface.  Ding could never go anywhere without chilling the room to the bone, and as a result, forming icicles from any overhanging surface.  Over time, he's learned to employ some artistic flair in using his abnormal body temperature to create impromptu xylophones.
