Narwhal

"Remember, be strong. Be vigilant. Strike first. Trust nobody."

— Prince Narwhal's mantra to Winter

Template:Charbox Prince Narwhal is a male IceWing prince and brother to Queen Glacier. A character solely featured in Winter Turning, he is the father of Winter, Icicle, and Hailstorm, as well as the husband to Tundra. Narwhal seems to be trusted with the kingdom, as Queen Glacier put him in charge while she was in the rainforest. He also appears to be quite clever, ambitious, and power-hungry; he seems to know exactly what to do to get what he wants. Not much is known about his appearance, but he was noted to have a long snout and blue eyes.

Biography

Winter Turning

In the prologue, Winter mentions Narwhal to Hailstorm, saying how he will be furious that the two are in SkyWing territory.

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 is distracted during the hunt while a mother polar bear and her cubs are in clear sight, Narwhal wings out of the sky with his wife and brother. When Winter fails to catch the bear, he furiously roars at his son, demanding to know how he could have let the bear get away.

Later, after Winter and Hailstorm return to the Ice Kingdom, he announces that Hailstorm has returned and surprisingly puts Hailstorm at the bottom of the Seventh Circle, and even more surprisingly he puts Winter at the top of the First Circle. This was a well-executed plan that made sure that Hailstorm would perform the Diamond Trial so that either way they would have a dragonet on top in the first circle.

Talons of Power

He is mentioned to have caught the plague, and that his condition is worsening, as told to Hailstorm by the IceWing messenger. Tundra, his mate, also caught the plague.

• Winter said that Narwhal's outward demeanor was pretty much the same whether he was proud or furious.
• Narwhal does not seem to like Winter, as shown by the fact that he tries to eliminate him with the Diamond Trial, and due to how he has failed to get into the First Circle before the events of Winter Turning.
• Prince Arctic also had the same feelings about Darkstalker being his son, however this is only because Arctic went mad from using too much animus power.
