An Ice Dragon is a more sedate and slumbersome species of Emperor Dragon, though their freezing breath is exceptionally potent. Those of their number who are able to cast magic always utilise the Lore of Light. Their ice breath is almost identical to that of a lesser Frost Dragon, but is significantly more powerful.[1a]

It is believed by many scholars that the dreaded Chaos Frost Dragons of Norsca were once Ice Dragons, having become mutated by the powers of Chaos into cold-loving Chaos Dragons.[2]

Notable Dialects[]

As the Chaos Dragon Galrauch is known as the "Great Drake"[3a], it is likely that the term "drake" refers to Dragons as a whole in the Old World. Ice Drakes are mentioned in the stories of Dwarfs[4a], Ogres[5a], and the Warriors of Chaos.[3b] The word drake has also been used to denote a young, adolescent Dragon.
