Mystical, magical creatures having unbelievable capabilities, ice dragons are those fascinating beings that amuse one and all.

Whether you're a fan or not, we all have heard of the huge dragons in 'Game Of Thrones.' Unlike those dragons, the unique ice dragon is a beast that breathes cold instead of fire that can freeze a human to death in less than a second.

While the fire breathing dragons play a major role in the series, the ice dragon Viserion is not a recurrent theme as it comes to life only in the seventh season. Possessing unimaginable power, the blue-eyed ice dragons are way larger than the usual fire killing dragons of Valyria. Born out of ice, these crystalline white creatures are said to have translucent wings from which the moon, stars and galaxies can be glimpsed through, as they use their wings to soar up fearlessly in the skies. Though details about the fantastical creature are mentioned in the book of 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' by George RR Martin, you can also find them in his 1980 novel 'Ice Dragon' as well as in the world of Westeros.

Just as bold as the name 'Viserion', these cool ice dragon names that indicate fierceness and strength are beautiful options to use either for your upcoming fantasy novel, your Dungeons & Dragons campaign, or even for your child.

These names are perfect for ice dragons but if you're looking for something different or just want more inspiration why not try our articles about Draconic names or black dragon names.
