Cold-drakes

Cold-drakes were dragons that lacked the great power of all of Middle-earth's most infamous dragons (Ancalagon, Glaurung, and Smaug): the ability to breathe fire. Nonetheless, they were strong foes with iron-hard scales, wicked claws, bold tails and terrible fangs. It is unknown if they wielded the ability to breath ice instead of fire. 
==History==
Though most did not survive the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age, some escaped eastward and remained in the Northern Waste, the Grey Mountains, and the Withered Heath. As the millennia passed, the cold-drakes multiplied and became a serious threat to the Dwarves in the late Third Age. Eventually, war was declared. In TA 2589, Dáin I, King of Durin's Folk, and his second son Frór, were slain at the gates of their own hall by a gigantic cold-drake. With the ongoing attacks of these fierce creatures, the majority of the Dwarves decided to migrate eastwards from the Grey Mountains. Soon afterwards, the Iron Hills and the Lonely Mountain became the major dwellings of the Longbeards (the inhabitants of Khazad-dûm). Tolkien gives no hint to the history of the cold-drakes after this time period.
Four hundred years later, at the time of Bilbo Baggins' journey to Erebor, they seem to have left the Grey Mountains (as implied by Gandalf making no mention of them when describing the dangers of that region).
