IceWings have silver, white, or pale-blue scales that suggest the color of ice. These dragons are ruled by Queen Glacier. They have names that involve ice and cold, like the names Glory made up for Jambu and herself (Glory was Storm, and Jambu was Penguin). IceWings reside in the north-west of Pyrrhia, or the 'head of the dragon', known as the Ice Kingdom. They were allied with Blaze and most of the SandWings in the Great War.

IceWings and NightWings have resented each other for years, going all the way back to a war they fought against each other long ago. This is displayed when Starflight was rescued from the SkyWing Kingdom arena by Morrowseer and a battalion of NightWings, who slaughtered all the IceWing prisoners before leaving. NightWings did not include an IceWing egg in the prophecy, also showing their hatred for IceWings.

They, along with the NightWings, are searching for scavenger dens, but unlike the NightWings, it is known why. Queen Glacier ordered them to, due to the fact she believes that one day, they will find the SandWings' treasure.

Blue Pointed IceWing

IceWings range from white to silver to pale or ice blue. They have a ruff of extra horns, like icicles, behind their heads and tails that narrow to a whip-thin end. IceWings have blue eyes, forked blue tongues, and ridged claws to grip the ice while traveling by talon or to claw opponents.

Because of their serrated claws, being clawed by an IceWing once is comparable to being clawed by a normal dragon four times, as explained by Peril the Arena Champion.

Abilities

IceWings can withstand both subzero temperatures and extremely bright light. Their serrated, ridged claws are especially good at gripping ice, and just as good at tearing into their enemies' flesh. Instead of breathing fire, IceWings exhale a freezing frostbreath, which is just as deadly, if not more.This vapor can quickly induce frostbite and kill a dragon. Clay described it as a cloud of silver, glittering smoke when he battled with Fjord the IceWing in the SkyWing Arena. An IceWing can be stopped from using this defense for a short amount of time by hot metal, fire, lava, or other warm materials. This is mentioned in the prologue of The Dragonet Prophecy, where Burn first had her guards wrap Hvitur's snout in hot iron chains, and then had them removed, planning to kill Hvitur before his scales cooled down and enabled him to breathe his frost-breath.

If a dragon gets frostbreath inside their throats, a way for them to survive it is for the victim to stay in lava. Queen Battlewinner of the NightWings survived an attack where an IceWing shot its frostbreath down her throat, but due to her internal fire reservoir she could survive for a short time; however, the fire could not hold it off forever and she was confined to a pool of lava, which kept her temperature in balance. When she attempted to attack Starflight and Glory in The Dark Secret, the ice tipped the scales in its favor and, despite Mastermind's and Greatness's best efforts to save the queen, she froze to death in seconds.

Their cold breath can be so intense that the ice can spread and fuse organs together. The ice can discolor eyes, teeth and scales.

Trivia

  • They seem to be minimalists, describing Blaze's fortresses decorations as 'garish and gaudy', possibly due to the fact that their homeland has very little to offer.
  • IceWings were rarely featured in the books, thus little has been revealed about their behavior.
  • It is revealed that a male IceWing will be a protagonist in the upcoming books, and Tui T. Sutherland has revealed that the character will feature the seventh book, or second book in the new series.
  • SkyWings and IceWings are the only tribes with wings that don't connect to their underbelly.
  • Their breath has been referred to a "freezing-death breath" and "frostbreath".
  • An IceWings freezing-death breath, or frostbreath, is presumed to be deadly when shot into the mouth(it may also be deadly when shot in different areas, but no more has been revealed). To prevent freezing to death, the victim will need to submerge themselves in lava(or possibly any extremely hot substance). Exiting the substance will result in the ice finishing it's work, freezing the victim from inside out.
  • Since IceWings don't have wings connecting to their under bellies, they would hardly be able to fly, much less glide. They would have to beat their wings very fast to keep upright, and their muscular structure and how air friction works wouldn't allow that to be possible.
