Non canon "Cold-drakes".

Morgoth's Dragons would be dead and these would be on no ones side.

If You want to play a dragon mod look into Ice and Fire because Mevans said these take LOTS of Coding to do.

Also All of the Drakes Would be in Angband or in The Northern Parts of Middle Earth. Cold-drakes are canon, but I don't personally think they should breathe ice, and I don't think there should be fire-breathers. I'm less-inclined than usual to immediately dismiss this idea, since it's fairly concrete in my opinion; plus, if they'd be wingless, I'd assume they'd be easier to add.

I don't think they should drop scales, or if they do, you shouldn't craft armour with them. Perhaps they could drop their teeth? When Scatha was killed by Fram, his teeth were taken and sent to the Dwarves as an insult, so it would be a neat little reference. Perhaps killing a Drake could award you a dragon-scale shield?

The achievement for killing one's name should probably be changed. (At the risk of being too similar to Ice & Fire, it would be cool if you could find Dragons sleeping, and awaking them would earn the achievement "Never Laugh at Live Dragons". Killing them should also award an achievement, of course.)

Cold-drakes could also spawn in caves in Forodwaith, or in the Forodwaith mountains. I'd say that these ones should be called the Cold-drakes, while others that would spawn in the Grey Mountains would just be Drakes. Perhaps the Drakes could spawn in different colours (grey, red, orange, etc)? Cold-drakes could maybe also have the same frost-effect on hitting that Ice mobs in Utumno do (they should also uncommonly spawn in the Ice level, and perhaps normal Drakes could spawn in the lower ones.). They might have to have a slightly less-powerful melee attack to make up for this.

There's still a good chance that this suggestion isn't concrete or original enough to be taken seriously, but in the case it is, feel free to use these ideas.
