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.

Silver Spirits is an older dragon skilled in the manipulation of ice and snow, with his specialty being creating snow out of thin air. While he spends most of the year isolated in his mountain home, each winter he travels to the desert to bring snowfall it would not otherwise receive and spread his kind's trademark holiday cheer. This takes a lot out of him, and he often sleeps for weeks on end upon returning to his mountain.
