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.

Alpine Ruckus likes to make ado.

When someone lets unpleasant feelings stew

He'll try to cheer them up and stick like glue

Until they start to grin, so he can too.

Sometimes he'll pull faces, sing, or moo

Or clean their scales, or teach them something new.

His weyr, above a cliff beside a slough

Is often filled by parties that he threw.

Though guests don't always look, there is a view

To Nworset, where he watches for the few

Who are, despite the season, feeling blue.
