Personification of Frost in English/Norse Folklore

Jack Frost is the personification of frost and cold in English and Scandinavian folklore. Appearing as a young boy or mischievous old man, he draws frost ferns on winter windowpanes and nips at noses and toes. The name first appeared in 17th-century England as a British variant of the broader frost-personification tradition (Norse Jökull, Russian Morozko). He has become a perennial character in modern films and animation.

Hunter of the Frozen Wastes

The White Dragon is one of the five branches of the chromatic dragons that took root in the 1974 first edition of Dungeons & Dragons by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, a cold hunter that holds the year-round snowfields of the polar seat and the frozen wasteland as its own territory. Scales as white as snow melt into the white seat of glacier and ice without leaving a single shadow, and from its mouth it breathes a single straight line of cold that brings the death of one breath, freezing man and beast at one seat. Among the five chromatic dragons, black, blue, green, red, and white, this one stands at the seat of the lowest intelligence, but the hunting instinct of the beast is set most clearly at the same seat in turn, and once it has fixed a prey, it follows for days at one seat with great patience. Its lair is a cave in a glacier or a deep seat in year-round snow, and within it the figure of the bodies of men and beasts killed in the same hunt, preserved forever in ice, is the clearest mark of one seat.

Yuki-onna · The Snow Woman — A Cold, Sorrowful Beauty Appearing in the Blizzard

A pale beauty yokai who appears suddenly within a blizzard on a snowy night. In a white kimono, with jet-black hair and a bloodless face, she approaches lost travelers and freezes them to death with her cold breath. Yet in some lore she comes to love a human and lives with them — an ambivalent being where beauty, sorrow, and cruelty coexist.
