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.

If Yulan is the childish, playful side of Chistmas, Ribbal is the motherly, soothing side. She represents all of the warm, calm feelings of Chistmas; the joy of family, contentment by a fire, sipping a mug of hot cocoa. She is loving towards all creatures large and small, but there is a special place in her heart for hatchlings.
