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.

Only appearing around Christmas time, Yule can often be seen in the company of his brother, Nicholas. Yule is a strong and proud dragon, who firmly believes that it is his job to spread goodwill and cheer to even the most miserable of dragons. Yule does this by sharing his food  with as many dragons as possible, always making sure that each dragon in his selected Cave has enough to get them through the winter. At the end of the Christmas season, however, Yule vanishes only to reappear in a new Cave the next year.
