One day, two little Wizzlings were greatly enjoying the Winter season and the abundance of snow, and they had done everything there was to do: snow angels, snowmen, fortresses, you name it. The two best friends sat down together to think of what to do next. One of them had the idea of building their own snow dragon-friend and both jumped with excitement to gather all the twigs, rocks, snow and coal they could get their hands on. Once it was complete, with a bit of wizardry they animated the snow sculpture and there before them stood their new dragon-friend, who they decided to name Snowball. With the spell being done by novices, the snow would start melting to slush during the day, but there was plenty of snow around for it to eat and get back into shape at night.

The Snowball Dragon was released on December 25, 2020 during Tundral Rumble.
The Snowball Dragon was the first dragon in the game to be released on Christmas Day.
The Snowball Dragon was teased with a comic on DragonVale's Facebook page the day before its release. The same comic was shown to players in-game on the day it was released.
The Snowball Dragon has a hiding form (by looking like a snowman) despite not possessing the hidden element.
The Snowball Dragon had a typo in its description (best friend instead of best friends) which was corrected on January 1, 2021.
The Snowball Dragon was the last dragon released in 2020.
The Snowball Dragon's appearance and description likely reference Frosty the Snowman, as both Frosty and the Snowball Dragon were inanimate snow sculptures who came to life.
The Snowball Dragon's design may be based on ceratopsian dinosaurs like Triceratops, since it has three horns and a frill on the back of its head.
The horns may also resemble reindeer antlers, which are commonly associated with Christmas.
