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.

On Christmas day, Aoitari and her sister Yonaga fly throughout the biomes, delivering gifts for the Sylvain family. Aoitari brings gifts to the hatchlings in the family, placing the presents underneath the Christmas trees in the communal "living caves". She treasures the memories of the hatchlings' wide-eyed looks of wonder, especially those who are experiencing their first Christmas.
