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.

Holly Bough is known as a mischief maker by all who know him. Even though he rarely appears save for the colder months, he takes every opportunity he can to cause trouble. Should he ever go too far with his tricks he will compensate his unfortunate victim by stuffing their homes with Christmas sweets. As a result many small children deliberately try to get his attention.
