White Dragons

White Dragons are the smallest of the chromatic dragons. Their range in the Known Realms is restricted to the Northern Reaches, where they are fairly common. They prey upon mammoths, walruses, belugas, and muskoxen. They are seen as pests by the Balgr people and many dwarves, creating a market for dragonslayers.

White Dragons are indisputably at the top of the food chain in the Northern Reaches. Not brown bears nor orcas live above their predation. White dragons’ favorite prey are mammoths. This puts them in direct competition with Frost Giants, who also love mammoth meat.

White dragons loathe snow griffons, and will go out of their way to kill them. They also loath frost giants and generally have ill feelings towards all humanoids.

Dominant White Dragons carve their lairs out of the ice of glaciers. White dragon lairs are otherwise found dug into the mountain face or in the cranny of a fjord. The entrances to glacial lairs are typically obscured by shallow labyrinths of glassy and mirrorlike ice. The walls of deeper chambers of the ice caves where the dragons keep their cache and hoard gleam blue as sunlight meanders through the glacial ice. During the winter the caves typically remain dark.
