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.

Frosty the Tengu is anything but a "jolly, happy soul." He does not, in fact, possess a corn cob pipe or a button nose. And no matter how one looks at it, he simply cannot have two eyes made out of coal. He makes certain to relay these points to any dragon who asks his name, grumbling that it is not the name of his or even his parent's choosing, but an embarrassing nickname that stuck with him as a child. His true name is just Tengu. But despite how much he dislikes his nickname, to his dismay, it has stuck with him to this day.
