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.

Yuletide came from the northern part of the mainland. No one in the herd is quite sure why he left and came to the island the heard is lives on. He made quick friends with Nova and was later welcomed fully into the heard. He enjoys the few cold months on the island and often longs for his old home. Yet because he enjoys the company of everyone in the heard he will never actually leave. He hates flying because of his weakened leafy wings; however his quickness and swiftness on land makes up for his weak flying ability. Yuletide is always in a jolly mood, even when he is brooding.
