Summer Droom
The Summer Droom is one of the four kinds of droom found in the Lands of Exile, alongside the Winter Droom, Spring Droom and Autumn Droom. Drooms look different and have different characteristics depending on the season in which they are born, and the season of their birth is reflected in their character.1
A summer droom's body is covered all over in small thorns and leaves.2
Summer drooms are cheerful and confident, and they are more comfortable in crowded places than other drooms. Having fun and protecting the ones they love are perhaps the things that matter most to them.2
