Creature Name: Ice Runner.

General Description: native to the arctic areas of Camidra, the ice runners are a race of small and furred draconics. Due to that the temperature in their ranges rarely goes above minus five degrees celcius, they are covered in thick fur which provides excellent protection against the cold. Of appearance, an ice runner bears some resemblance to a fox, but the body is longer and their forepaws are more like hands equiped with sharp talons instead of nails. The head also bears some features reminding of those of a typical western dragon, and some scales may grow among the slightly shorter head-fur. Ice runners also have a pair of slender feelers extending from the base of their lower jaws-- these usually kept folded and protected within the runner's warm fur. Ice runners do not have wings, but their speed, agility and ability to move with great speed even in difficult terrain and within tunnels and cracks in snow and ice, they do not really need the ability to fly.
