Ancient Rime Dragon
A dragon that carries winter in its bones radiates a killing tide of cold, sapping the warmth and speed from anyone who closes the distance.
An ancient rime dragon carries winter in its bones, and the air around it crackles into frost the moment it draws near. Cold pours off its scales in a constant, killing tide that saps the warmth and speed from anything foolish enough to close the distance.
