Icewrack Dragon

Description
A conglomeration of ice, snow, frozen blood & the despair brought on by the cold & winter. Their eyes are a pale blue & their bodies glisten with a misty sheen of deep frost. This mix of sheen & frost makes their bodies semi-transparent enabliing one to see some of the organs within & in some cases the gristly evidence of their previous meal(s).
During the Divine & Titanswar they served the titaness Lethene as siege troops, assaulting cites & disrupting supply lines in Albadia & the north. Powerful enough on their own to decimate entire populations they seldom worked with others. Some were rumored to have survived the war. Some retreating deep into the Titanshome mountains, others further into the wilds of Albadia and the continent of Fenrilik. Some loremasters in Lokil have linked the Icewrack Dragon(s) to the slow spread of glaciers down from the Stiffened Sea.
Going by the known Icewrack Dragon of Albadia (supposedly where the Icewrack Tribe got it's name from), they prefer to lair high above permafrost in glittereng caves carved from ice.
Combat
They prefer to let their enemies come to them, choosing locations where they have the advantage. When encountered, they are more likely to lure a party into a snow-covered cravasse or icy deadfall then to blast them with their breath weapon. Once foes are demoralized & weakened enough, any who've not yet succumbed to the intense cold are attacked by their breath weapon. While confident, bordering on arrogant, they are not above (or below) retreating if a battle should turn against them, preferring somewhere even colder & distant where they can nurse wounds & plot revenge.
Known abilities
A breath weapon of the purest cold but also has the reported ability to put despair into their opponents hearts. It's mere look, aura of cold & icestride further aid it in the frozen wilds. It's also been reported as immune to sleep & paralysis effects & due to its nature equally resistant to damage due to bleeding (like from a wounding weapon). It's able to cast spells, much like a sorcerer.
Rumors
In addition to it's known abilities there may be others. Encounters with the Albadian Icewrack Dragon have reported it as having Polymorph abilities (but still being able to use all it's abilities in these different forms). The Albadian Icewrack seems more willing to converse then battle; they also don't seem to be the "treasure hoarder" type that other dragons are.
