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.

People think Dragon visits them because she has important things to do. She's too embarrassed to tell them her name ("Dragon"), so she remains nameless, hoping the visited assume she likes to keep an air of mystery or something. Those who rarely see a ribbon dancer up close gape and ask her for favors, which she gladly follows. Some of them ask for blessings, music, and good fortune, which Dragon doesn't know how to do, but she still tries anyway. The real reason she visits humans is so she can be petted on the head by their soft fleshy hands, but that happens dreadfully infrequently. There is no easy, elegant way to ask to be petted.
