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.

Tis The Season is, in essence, a spirit of Christmas, albeit a very rude and sarcastic one.  For although he goes through the motions each year, hanging holly and mistletoe, the other dragons have a vague inkling that his heart isn't in it.  The first clue came on his first Christmas in the form of decorative wreaths of holly hung on the wall of the abandoned castle in which many of the dragons celebrate Christmas each year.  He had obviously put very much time and thought into these decorations, although his creativity seemed to have headed in the wrong direction, for on the wall, spelled out very neatly by curved wreaths topped with bows, were a series of words so naughty that even Skyle would cringe away from them.  As if this wasn't bad enough, Durnon was the first to see these decorations and, believing that the words were holiday greetings, proceeded to fly about excitedly, a holly wreath obscuring her ears, yelling them loudly for the whole world to hear.
