Cold-drakes were dragons that could not breathe fire. It is commonly assumed, though not directly stated, that this term indicates a dragon which cannot breathe fire, rather than one who breathes ice or snow. Morgoth bred and used cold-drakes in First Age.[note 1] After the War of Wrath, some cold-drakes were found in the waste north of the the Grey Mountains.
Notes
- ↑ The only specific mention of them in this period in Tolkien's published work may be found in Turambar and the Foalókë.
