-White dragon scale mail is rarely used by most characters, since [[reflection]] is sufficient enough to protect a character against many forms of [[cold]] damage, and obtaining cold resistance or avoiding melee combat (in the case of [[brown mold]]s and [[blue jellies]]) can protect from the rest. [[Pudding]]s, [[gray ooze]]s and [[gelatinous cube]]s in particular may confer cold resistance to a character, as well as blue jellies, [[winter wolves]] and their [[Winter wolf cub|cubs]]. [[Valkyrie]]s in particular start with cold resistance, rendering white dragon mail almost entirely obsolete for them.
