Carved Dragon

During Merlin's time with Balinor, the two were talking one evening next to a warm fire as Balinonre carved some object. Merlin did not pay much attention to the wooden figurine until the next morning when it was left next to his cott. It was then revealed to be a wooden dragon. Merlin smiled as he looked upon the lovely creation. (The Last Dragonlord.)

After his father died, Merlin kept the little dragon. He was found weeping in his room, holding the figure by Gaius, once he had returned.
