This is Slaine, the Christmas Dragon.



Slaine was given to me shortly before Christmas as a present from some students/friends of mine. I keep him on the computer in my office to keep me company.

When Christmas rolled around, Slaine wanted to join the festivities so much, I couldn't dissuade him. So, I made him a little Santa cap. Now, he calls himself "Santa Claws," and claims the hat was "dyed red in the blood of his enemies!" (When asked about the fluffy white trim, he replied, "AND TRIMMED WITH THEIR SHREDDED PILLOW INNARDS!")



The skulls at his feet are of the naughty children. When he finished his work, he seemed disconcerted that he hadn't heard any "Slay Bells" in the process.

I fear telling him about Valentine's Day . . .
