The Snow Wraith is one of the fastest dragons. Snow Wraiths are able to circle an entire island (size of Glacier Island) at high speed after one attack attempt has failed. Its snowy white scales allow it to blend in well with its surroundings. They can walk on the snow before ambushing without being noticed.
