The Ice Wyvern, often referred to as frost drakes, are formidable descendants of Silver Dragons. These creatures have inherited the icy essence of their draconic forebears, making them powerful predators in frigid environments. Unlike their true dragon ancestors, Ice Wyverns have two legs and two wings, giving them a sleek, streamlined appearance that is both agile and deadly in flight.
Their bodies are predominantly covered in thick, icy-blue scales that glisten like frozen armor, providing both protection and camouflage in their snowy habitats. The scales of an Ice Wyvern are tough and resilient, able to withstand both the biting cold of their environment and the fierce attacks of their enemies. Along their backs and tails, larger, jagged spikes protrude, which they use to devastating effect in battle. The tail, in particular, is a fearsome weapon, heavily armored and tipped with sharp spikes, capable of delivering bone-crushing blows to their prey.
Ice Wyverns are native to the arctic expanses of The Vale of Everwinter, where the cold is eternal, and the land is covered in a perpetual blanket of snow and ice. They thrive in these harsh, frigid climates, where they hunt with precision and ferocity. Preferring colder regions, Ice Wyverns have been known to make their lairs in deep ice caves, glaciers, and the frozen peaks of the world's tallest mountains.
Despite their fearsome reputation, Ice Wyverns share a deep, instinctual connection to their Silver Dragon ancestors, often exhibiting a surprising level of intelligence and cunning in their hunts. They are solitary creatures, fiercely territorial, and will defend their hunting grounds against any intruders, be they mortal or beast.
The sight of an Ice Wyvern soaring through the icy skies, its scales shimmering in the pale light of the frozen sun, is a sight both majestic and terrifying—a true testament to the enduring legacy of the Silver Dragons from which they descend.
