Ice Dragons were released on November 22, 2009, alongside Magma and Thunder Dragons.
If users have one of each of these dragons, collectively known as the Legendary Trio, then the dragons have a breed specific action available for use known as Summon. This BSA allows one to use the dragon's united forces to attempt to summon a Guardian of Nature egg. The more trio sets a user has on their scroll, the more likely a summoning attempt will be successful.
When sorted by "Breed", they are listed as "Ice" on a user's scroll.
Official Dragon Descriptions
Egg
"This egg has icicles forming on it."
Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Icicles keep forming on its body, but it doesn't seem to be bothered by the cold."
Mature Hatchling
"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Icicles keep forming on its body, but it doesn't seem to be bothered by the cold.
And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing."
Adult
"Ice dragons are fierce predators who hunt using their extremely cold breath. The breath of an ice dragon can freeze its prey solid in seconds. The body of an ice dragon is so cold that icicles will form along its skin no matter the outside temperature."

- May appear in other snowy and icy areas during the winter or freak weather.
- May dive into and under frozen bodies of water in search of food.
- Owing to their territorial nature, they possess low population densities.
- A rare species overall owing to difficult-to-access habitats, solitary behavior, and lower populations.
Diet
