So, were there combos of any of these? Winged cold-drakes? We are told about Scatha, who was a cold-drake, and the dragon who drove the drove Thorin's folk from the Grey Mountains was presumably a cold-drake. I have also heard mentioned somewhere "long wyrms" in a reference to Tolkien. Were there ever any true wyrms, with no legs or wings?
