Frostbite Mini – The Pocket‑Sized Glacier Dragon

A compact, poseable, and fully print‑ready dragon designed as both a mini display piece and a durable keychain companion. This downsized Frostbite keeps all the icy attitude of the original while being optimized for fast, support‑free printing and everyday carry.

Born from the heart of a frozen cavern, Frostbite Mini still carries the chill of eternal winter. Even at this smaller scale, its coiled body and crystalline spines shimmer like freshly cracked ice. Some say travellers keep it as a charm for safe passage through storms; others claim it whispers the first signs of winter.
