Greater colddrakes are one of three types of colddrakes, the other two being lesser colddrakes and greatest colddrakes. They are the most common colddrakes, and they bear similar strengths to the alchedrakes.

Subspecies. There are four subspecies of greater colddrakes: snowdrakes, haildrakes, icedrakes, and cryodrakes. They are distinguished by the number of hit points they have, and their subspecies determines their armor class (use the table below). There is no particular difference between each type of greater colddrake, and the only purpose of each subspecies is for social reasons and to find their AC.

Hit Points	Subspecies	AC
37-49	Snowdrake	12
50-56	Haildrake	13
57-62	Icedrake	13
63-75	Cryodrake	14
