white dragon

Frost-breathing mythical serpent

White dragon typically refers to a mythical creature in fantasy literature and games—a dragon distinguished by white or silver coloring, often associated with ice, cold, or arctic environments.

In Dungeons & Dragons and similar games, white dragons are among the least intelligent but most savage of chromatic dragons, breathing freezing cold rather than fire.

The term also appears in various Asian mythologies, where white dragons may symbolize purity, death, or mourning.
