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.

Fonic is one of 5ilence's most prized dragons. His egg was a gift, and he was watched carefully while he was growing up. For the majority of his early life, Fonic was completely silent, never speaking or even making a sound, and many of the cave's dragons feared that he was mute. One day, however, the hatchling was left with Ion for a bit, and heard the Neglected Dragon singing a song called the Grand Fonic Hymn. He imitated the song perfectly, and since then he's spoken normally, though with a passion for singing. The Grand Fonic Hymn remains his favorite song, and he was even named for it.
