White Dragon Evil

Haughty loners of the ice, who keep only flawless treasure.

Although physically the weakest of the evil reptiles, white dragons are terrible foes who rarely associate with their malicious, other-colored cousins. These palest of dragons are extremely haughty and prefer solitude, as they consider no other dragon their intellectual match. They consider all other creatures beneath dragonkind.

White dragons enjoy cold climates, land coated with snow and ice and unsullied by men. They collect little treasure, as they are loath to bother themselves with inferior possessions, but most of what they do own is nearly flawless: gems of the purest quality and jewelry of unrivaled beauty.

White dragons breathe a cloud of frost on their opponents before hitting them with other magical and physical attacks. They often pursue creatures underwater, where they are just as effective.

Dragon Breath
Acid and lightning breath strike a single victim, while gas, fire and frost wash over every creature in the room. Fire and frost can break objects, lightning can melt jewelry, gas poisons food and drink, and acid weakens the protection armor offers.
