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.

The individuals that Oarak prefers to help tend to be more metaphorically lost than actually so. Thus, she travels over a wider range than most solstice dragons, even choosing to spend time getting sand between her claws while helping a confused coastal waverunner. Thanks to Oarak's stories, dragons who have never seen so much as a snowflake now hold their own winter festivals.
