Ice Dragons

Appearance
Ice dragons appear in colors of white, light blue, light purple, and even mint green. The membrane of their wings is thicker than most, to protect against frostbite, and their chests and underbellies are covered with thick fur. Thik, curved claws help them grip ice and scale dangerous mountain paths. They have long spikes down their backs and their tails have diamond-shaped tips. Royals have small diamond marks next to each of their eyes. These dragons are immune to even the coldest, harshest environments, but don’t deal well with heat. In their human forms, ice dragons have very pale skin because of their snowy, overcast environment.

Abilities
Ice dragons can exhale an icy breath which they can use to freeze things and form chunks of ice with continued use.

Habitats
Local to the rocky mountains and icy tundra of northmost Aleria, ice dragons live in some of the most inhospitable regions possible. The center of their land is dry and windy, with water hiding only deep beneath the surface, but approaching the mountains snowstorms become more and more common. The massive mountain peaks sparkling in the sunlight are truly a sight to behold - if you can make it there alive, that is.

Culture
Cool-headed and logic oriented, ice dragons are some of the most organised dragons, chiefly admiring precision. Ice dragons created the mathematical system which is used throughout Aleria, and are incredible engineers and architects. Because they have little food available on their land, they are amazing fishers, second only to sea dragons. Ice dragons dress warmly in fur-lined parkas and tunics, similarly to the inuit. They are excellent leatherworkers, crafting cozy and practical breeches and boots to protect against the snow and ice. Their houses are elaborate structures built using their ice breath and then intricately carved.
