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.

When Unadon was younger, he was always getting into the kitchens while the older dragons were preparing meals. Growing up, his favorite napping spot was next to the cupboard storing the spices and other aromatic ingredients. Nowadays, Unadon does a lot of visiting between different family locations, always toting a large frying pan and wearing a belt holding pouches of various spices. During the holidays, he loves to cook for his younger siblings, teaching them the names of different ingredients he adds and where to find them when foraging. Cooking is a kind of magic, he says, since it's amazing how a plain dish can be made into something heartwarming and belly filling with just a little bit of flavor and variety.
