Almost the antithesis of the fiery red dragon is the frost-rimed white dragon of the frigid north. Although lesser than their red cousins in size, power and intelligence, they are at least as evil.
White dragons only rarely (20%) are known to speak, very rarely (5%) cast magic, but frequently (60%) will be found asleep. If the dragon is asleep, there is a 1 in 6 chance that it will awaken in the presence of adventurers. Dragons also sometimes feign sleep.
If a white dragon can cast spells, it will gain spells as a magic user of a level equal to one half of its age category. So, an ancient white dragon casts as a 4th level magic user.
