Cold One

Cold Ones are creatures which appear in Games Workshop’s Warhammer Fantasy and Age of Sigmar settings.

Description
Dinosaurian creatures with a resemblance to the Raptors of Earth’s prehistory, Cold Ones are vicious pack predators who hunt in a manner similar to that of terrestrial wolves. Whilst possessed of a particularly cunning nature, those specimens raised from birth provide loyal mounts to those whose will is strong enough to overcome their stubborn nature.

Lizardmen
On occasion, a cohort of Saurus warriors are spawned with the innate ability to tame and ride these creatures. These troops are used as elite shock units, with the martial prowess of the Saurus matched to the animal ferocity of the Cold One making a particularly devastating combination.

Dark Elves
The Dark Elves of Naggaroth have similarly proven capable of taming these beasts, although they usually do so through much crueller methods, breaking the spirit of the Cold One before teaching it how to aid its master in battle. In addition, Dark Elves are known to use Cold Ones to pull their chariots to war, their ferocity making these war machines even more powerful than those of their contemporaries.
