They are aggressive and have a liking of horseflesh, normal horses are terrified by them. They are remarkably long lived and notoriously stupid. The oldest Cold One known to the Dark Elves, dubbed Kintearer, lived 1732 years after being brought into captivity. There exists in the deepest jungles a rare breed of Cold One referred to as Horned Ones. These beasts breed within dank caverns, emerging into the rainforests to hunt. They are startlingly aggressive and extremely territorial, so much so that they will take on any other beasts they perceive as a threat, no matter its size. Cold Ones are natural predators who see all warm-blooded life as potential prey. Unlike Lizardmen, who are naturally cold-blooded, Dark Elves who wish to ride or tend to them must first coat their skin with the slime which exudes from a Cold One's hide. Long-term exposure to the powerful poison destroys the skin nerves so that the knights have little skin sensation. The poisonous slime nulls the Elf's senses of smell, taste and touch. Regardless, to many Druchii this is a price worth paying for such a powerful beast.
