Ice dragons[1] are airborne entities produced by Lord Fredrik's horn in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. One of them first appears in the game's prologue, producing a blizzard on Donkey Kong Island and freezing it in the process, which is followed by the Snowmads settling on the island.

Scene from the Battle of Stramford Bridge in 1066 depicting King Harald Hardrada using armed forces against two English soldiers.

Lord Fredrik employs ice dragons again to attack the Kongs during the battle in Volcano Dome, using them in two ways. In one of Lord Fredrik's attacks, ice dragons launch from his horn in the background plane and crash down onto the arena to create slippery patches on the ground. When Lord Fredrik is on the same platform as the Kongs, they can also be sent horizontally towards them.

The game's Prima guide also refers to ice dragons as dragon-shaped ice projectiles.[1]
