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.

Argiodus is a beautiful white and red dragon with green holly leaf wings and stag antlers. He was the fourth egg in the fourth clutch, a surprise egg, since it wasn't expected that his owner would be able to find an egg like his. Argiodus loves to run about in the snow; if it is not winter, he will bound through the forests, pretending that it is the Christmas season. He is a very calm dragon; almost nothing seems to faze him. He is also a very stern dragon, and always follows the rules. Argiodus never does anything out of line and even fears what would happen if he broke a rule. Argiodus loyally follows his own code of conduct and would never even consider breaking it. Sometimes, however, this code impedes him from doing the right thing, which leaves Argiodus feeling a little disgraced. However, overall, Argiodus is a very likeable dragon in the cave, eager to do whatever is right for the others in his cave. He enjoys helping others as much as he likes to follow his code of conduct.
