In this post, we are going to take a good look at Ice Dragons. All scale and feather colors they can have, all mutations that can appear in their species and more.

This is a typical Ice Dragon

Ice Dragons have the ability to breathe ice and snow from their mouth. Their scales are extremely hard, and nearly impossible to break. They also radiate a natural coldness. Their wings are feathered, and these feathers also appear on the tip of their tails and behind their ears.

The Silencing and the Cleansing

Since living on Drake's Peak, the Fire Dragons have come up with some pretty nasty traditions regarding the Ice Dragons. The two worst ones however, are known as the Silencing and the Cleansing.

What is a Shimmer-Wing?

You've heard this term a few times on the blog, and you'll be hearing it a while more. So it's time to answer the question. Just what is a Shimmer-Wing?

A Shimmer-Wing is an Ice Dragon who has purple, blue, pink, or rarely green feathers. According to Ice Dragon legends, a Shimmer-Wing was only born when the Ice Dragons were in great danger.

Some of the most famous Shimmer-Wings in Ice Dragon history are:

•  Emerald, who was a general in the Battle Era. 
•  Icicle, who fought against Tempest in the Battle of Magic's Touch. 
• Berry, the great grand-dragonet of Wynter, and the first Ice Dragon to have the Silencing preformed on her.
