Coldrakes

The Coldrakes were native animals of the Black Mountains and they were commonly known as wind-vipers.

Description
Coldrakes resembled giant serpents around twenty feet in length, with leathery wings similar to those of dragons, but they were smaller, could not breathe fire, as well as were less intelligent than dragons. They had dappled blue or brown scales. They stunned their prey with an immobilizing mental screech and then killed them. They usually hunted in groups of three or four. Dragons and Coldrakes are distant cousins, but are less closely related than Dragons and Mytual.

The Coldrakes were an extremely endangered species. The Dwarf clan known as the Torgrymst Coldrake were named after them.
