'''Narwhal''' was an adult male [[IceWing]] [[prince]] who was introduced in ''[[Winter Turning (book)|Winter Turning]]''. In addition to being the former husband of [[Tundra]] and the father of [[Winter]], [[Icicle]], and [[Hailstorm]], he was also an advisor to [[Queen Snowfall]], and a warrior of at least the [[IceWings#Circle rankings|Second Circle]]. He was killed during the [[Battle of Jade Mountain]] by two empowered [[NightWing]] scouts. He would often take charge of the [[IceWing gifts|gift of order]] when [[Queen Glacier]] was away from the [[Ice Kingdom]].

He was disgusted that she was working for [[Scarlet]], due to his grudge or sorts against the [[SkyWing]] tribe for holding Hailstorm and approximately twenty other IceWings captive during the [[War of SandWing Succession|war]].

Winter and Icicle's low rank affected his and Tundra's placements, dropping them down to the Third Circle and endangering their right to live in the palace. However, Winter still mourned his father's death after he was killed in battle.

In a flashback, Narwhal, Tundra, Winter, Icicle, Hailstorm, three attendants, and one of Winter's uncles were all a part of a hunting party for the dining table of Queen Glacier herself. As Winter was distracted by scavengers during the hunt while a polar bear and her cubs were easy targets in clear sight, Narwhal winged out of the sky with his wife and Hailstorm. With Winter failing to catch the bear, Narwhal furiously roared at his son, demanding to know how he let the bear get away.

Later, after Winter and Hailstorm returned to the Ice Kingdom, he announced that Hailstorm had returned and, surprisingly, put Hailstorm at the bottom of the Seventh Circle and Winter at the top of the First Circle. This was a setup to ensure that he and Tundra would not be accused of favoritism and so that Hailstorm would challenge Winter to the Diamond Trial, leaving Narwhal with his finest, more promising dragonet in the First Circle. He made sure that Hailstorm was given instructions on what to do during the trial to ensure his victory, showing his cunning personality and providing that he got the result that would be more favorable to his name.

Darkness of Dragons
Narwhal was with his son, Hailstorm, and his niece, Queen Snowfall, demanding that the Jade Mountain Academy staff tell them where Darkstalker was. He was noted to be the largest IceWing in the group. Winter appeared in front of them, and Narwhal was shocked that his son was alive because he was sure that he had been sent to his death. The "reunion" did not last long, as NightWing scouts appeared and began a fight, slashing Narwhal's throat and killing him as he was stuck between them and their target, Queen Snowfall. Hailstorm and Winter were shown briefly grieving over their father, closing his eyes, before leaping into battle against the NightWings.

The Lost Continent Prophecy

The Dangerous Gift
Narwhal was mentioned by Queen Snowfall as one of the dragons who were lost during the NightWing-IceWing battle on Jade Mountain. She thought about how she had left Tundra up high in the rankings since her husband had died protecting Snowfall.

Relationships

Hailstorm

Hailstorm was Narwhal's favorite dragonet due to his many skills, strengths, and high discipline. He openly favored Hailstorm over Winter, showing disappointment at Hailstorm's presumed death and blaming it on his younger son. He was willing to sacrifice Winter to increase Hailstorm's rank in the Diamond Trial, truly showing how strong of a preference he had with his children.

Icicle

Narwhal wanted his daughter to become the IceWing queen and challenge Glacier before one of Glacier's dragonets did, but that never happened since Glacier died of Darkstalker's plague and she chose Snowfall to become queen before her death. Icicle could not challenge Snowfall afterwards because cousins are not heirs to the throne. He was disgusted that she was working for Scarlet, due to his grudge or sorts against the SkyWing tribe for holding Hailstorm and approximately twenty other IceWings captive during the war. He was also disgusted with how she allowed herself to be captured by RainWings.

Winter

Narwhal had always been disappointed in Winter for his low aptitude, so much so that he had no qualms showing open admiration for Icicle and Hailstorm's achievements while belittling Winter's. He regretted having Winter as part of his family and was even willing to sacrifice Winter in the Diamond Trial so that Hailstorm could regain his place at the top of the rankings.
