Glacial Drake

    These ice dragons, as you may be able to infer from the name, excel within the harsh frozen tundra, ice caps and mountain peaks of the world. Notably, these drakes are capable of flight; however, by the standards of other species, their maneuverability in the air is slow and clumsy. This may be due to their adapted need to retain heat within their specialized biome. The wings of the ice drake are much smaller in proportion to their body than other species, as a larger wing requires more blood flow through the limb and membrane, effectively venting precious heat to the chilled air. Scale armors made from these creatures are a fine prize, like most dragon scales, they offer valued, light weight protection, and act as an insulator for warmth so that troops in cold environments are not encumbered by bulky furs and woolen coats.
The breath of these small dragons is something to be cautious of, their frost like breath is not as feared or damaging as their fire spewing brethren, the ice drake's weapon comes in a variety of uses, from an ice layering mist, to the spewing of crystalline icicles.


    Incompetent in flight, these small dragons are more than capable of maneuvering themselves upon land, relying upon speed and agility to pounce upon their prey. Their movements are fluid and serpent like, striking fast and committing to the attack. Due to this adaptability of cold environments and agility, the hunting grounds of the glacial drake even extend to the depths of lakes and surrounding seas, preying upon the smaller creatures, making them a capable predator in this dark environment. However, only the larger and braver drakes attempt this as there is always a bigger fish in the sea.



(This species of Dragon is open to anyone that wishes to use it! I ask that you try to keep your character's physical traits fitting the species, but I have intentionally been rather general as your character should be unique!)
