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.

Joyfest is quiet and so elusive, even the other dragons rarely see her.  No one knows much about her.  She has been occasionally seen hiding near one of the other dragons with her wings spread.  On those rare occasions, the dragon in question seems to be somewhat more cheerful, peaceful, and friendly, sometimes more so than normal, depending on what species that dragon is.  The few times when she comes out into the open are certain holidays, when she organizes and encourages the dragons into an appropriate holiday spirit and celebration.
