Frostbite

Frost Dragon by hellthunder

Using the templates and suggestions from Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, that I have reviewed and stated the included breath weapons a couple of weeks ago, I have now created a dragon based on that work.

Frostbite is a small dragon from the frozen tundra in the lands of the south. He is a scout who goes where he needs to go to gather information. Whether as a dragon or a human. Unseen or blending in.

He can literally see for miles! And he can fly further and faster and better than his peers. Never needing to eat, drink, or sleep.


Frostbite has all three cold-related breath weapons dragons are known to have and an Energy Reserve that allows him to use it more than most dragons of his size and age.
