Colddrake
by Sheldon MorrisColddrakes are perhaps the most reclusive of the drakes since they shun daylight and live deep underground. They love subterranean areas that are coated in ice, but may also be found among underground communities of dwarves and gnomes. This connection is not surprising since they have the ability to polymorph into the form of a dwarf or gnome. In their natural form they are white.
