'''Prince Narwhal''' was a male [[IceWings|IceWing]] prince. He was the brother to [[Queen Glacier]], and therefore, the uncle to [[Queen Snowfall]]. He was featured in ''[[Winter Turning]]'' with a brief stint in ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]''. Narwhal was the father of [[Ex-Prince Winter|Prince Winter]], [[Princess Icicle]], and [[Prince Hailstorm]], as well as the husband to [[Tundra]]. He seemed to be trusted with the [[Ice Kingdom|Kingdom]], as Queen Glacier put him in charge while she was in the [[Rainforest Kingdom|rainforest]] dealing with Icicle. Narwhal also appeared to be quite clever, ambitious, and power-hungry; he seemed to know exactly what to do to get what he wanted. | |||

Template:Charbox Prince Narwhal was a male IceWing prince. He was the brother to Queen Glacier, and therefore, the uncle to Queen Snowfall. He was featured in Winter Turning with a brief stint in Darkness of Dragons. Narwhal was the father of Prince Winter, Princess Icicle, and Prince Hailstorm, as well as the husband to Tundra. He seemed to be trusted with the Kingdom, as Queen Glacier put him in charge while she was in the rainforest dealing with Icicle. Narwhal also appeared to be quite clever, ambitious, and power-hungry; he seemed to know exactly what to do to get what he wanted.
Appearance
Not much was known about his appearance, but he was noted to have a long snout[1] and blue eyes.
Biography
In the prologue, Winter mentioned Narwhal to Hailstorm, saying how he would be furious that the two were in the Sky Kingdom.
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 during the hunt while a mother polar bear and her cubs were in clear sight, Narwhal winged out of the sky with his wife and Hailstorm. When Winter failed to catch the bear, he furiously roared at his son, demanding to know how he could have 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 even more surprisingly, put Winter at the top of the First Circle. This was secretly a plan that made sure that he and Tundra wouldn't be accused of favoritism, and so Hailstorm would perform the Diamond Trial against Winter, so that he would have a dragonet on top in the First Circle either way.
He was mentioned to have caught the IceWing plague, and that his condition was worsening, as told to Hailstorm by the IceWing messenger. Tundra, his wife, also caught the plague.
Narwhal was shown with his son, Hailstorm and his niece, Queen Snowfall, demanding that the Jade Mountain Academy staff tell them where Darkstalker was, and was noted to be the largest IceWing in the group. Winter appeared in front of them, and Narwhal was rather shocked that his son was alive, because he was sure that he had sent him 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 with the IceWings.
