Background Story[]

Niveous was the coldest, cruelest, and weakest of the ancient Dragons. He kept to himself, focusing on his craft of cryomancy. His powers allowed him to survive the great freeze, and revive his fallen Dragon brethren, bringing younger dragons backas tests. He decided with his newfound abilities to leave his old tormentors on ice and until the right moment...

When summoned his Ice Golems run amok. They can use Chaos Rampage and Shatterstorm to cause even more Chaos!
