Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day - pass without trace (ice and snow only).

Skills: Appraise, Bluff, and Jump are considered class skills for chromium dragons.

Cold Subtype

A creature with the cold subtype has immunity to cold. It has vulnerability to fire, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
