Holiday dragons are a very mysterious breed. They are only seen during winter, and even then it is hard to catch a glimpse of one. They are responsible for the general cheer that spreads during the holidays. In essence, they are the “Spirits of Winter.”

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Sugery works at the front desk of Nworset's art museum. He always has an easel with him behind the counter so he can work on art projects of his own—at least, when nobody is coming into or out of the museum. When visitors come he puts down his brush to handle admittance fees, or if they wish to buy something from the gift shop, and make sure they don't try to pocket some small bauble without paying for it. His ice magic resonates with certain artistic details in the architecture so that he can quickly freeze a thief despite the antimagic protections intended to stop magi-users who might try to teleport themselves or other goods away. There are very few attempted robberies, so these complex systems are rarely noticed by guests. They simply see a happy snow dragon who loves medical illustration who is happy to talk about art, artists, and exhibitions.
