Thought to be one of the [[Ancient Dragons]]. It is currently in hibernation beneath the frozen [[Drakkar Lake]] in the [[Far Shiverpeaks]] of Tyria. The ancient dragons are polar opposites from the younger dragons like [[Glint]] and [[Kuunavang]]. They are free from all gods and boast frightening powers. They lack the sentinence and wisdom of other great dragons, but are said to make up for it with their imposing magic.

"Drakkar" is theoretically the name of the dragon found slumbering below the frozen waters of [[Drakkar Lake]]. This creature resembles a [[wikipedia:Sauropterygia|Sauropterygian]], specifically a [[wikipedia:plesiosaur|plesiosaur]] more than the familiar winged dragons of medieval times.

===Trivia===
 
The origins of the name
 
* Drakkar's name is possibly derived from the Hebrew words ''Drakon'' (Dragon) and ''Kar'' (Cold) which are quite fitting, given the dragon is frozen underwater.
 
 
* ''Drake'' is the Middle English word for 'dragon', from the Anglo-Saxon word ''draca''. All sound very much alike.
 
 
* Another feasible root of the name is the Viking word for 'longboat', ''Drakkar'', which often were built in the shape of a dragon.
