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.

Hikimono's name means "gift."  Along with her sister Houshuku and the older Christmas male Kigaru Kansei, she works to make the community and bright and festive place during the holidays.  Hiki encourages camraderie and love, and while some of the more sullen temperaments find her irritating, none has been able to turn a claw against her.  Perhaps it is part of the mysterious power of the holiday-breed dragons that they disarm those around them through kindness.
