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.

Hendida Dash is an extremely optimistic dragon. Her patience surpasses that of peers to the point of her pondering upon a question for days. Once she finds a suitable question, Hendida evokes her philosophical studies and isolates herself deep into the crystalline caves. Post many weeks of thought, she emerges with her head stone glittering and her mouth chattering. Hendida talks to herself constantly post-emergence. When addressed, she makes eye contact for a moment, only to resume small muttering.
