The scales of an ice drake are ivory in color, with occasional tinges of ice-blue. Ice drakes have short, stocky limbs and a wide, flat tail that helps them climb on icy surfaces. Ice drakes give large predators a wide berth, preferring to wait until after such creatures have finished feasting to move in on the remains. They aren’t afraid to chase off smaller predators such as wolves. ### Combat Unless it is desperate, an ice drake only takes on living opponents smaller than itself, and preferably from hiding. It focuses its attacks on an individual, using its freezing touch to weaken that opponent to the point where it can grapple it and fly away.
