The most obvious and simplest way to code it would be to not change the boss, but still have their abilities be affected by the environment (just as players abilities are): The Ice Dragon will stay an Ice Dragon, but as the snow melts for Spring, their Ice attacks will do less damage, and their "Freeze" effects will not linger as long. The result of this would be that you still defeated an Ice Dragon (just an Ice Dragon at the very edge of it's natural habitat), and would still be rewarded for that.

They might still do something else, but this method is the easiest to code, the easiest to explain, the easiest to reason about, and the least effort overall. (And personally? just for me? I don't like the idea of an Ice Dragon that can just "become" a Fire Dragon cause the weather warmed up. The "ice" is a fundamental part of Ice Dragons, to me.)
