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.

During the winter holidays, Spearmint enjoys sprinkling candy canes among the slumbering hatchlings and dragons. He knows that he is believed to be a spirit, because very few actually see him. Each nip of the candy canes brings more winter holiday cheer. The dragons look forward to these candy canes from a mysterious dragon.
