Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

Pygmy dragons are the smallest category of dragons, being on the same scale as domesticated animals. They are often found around concentrated populations of dragons, relying on their larger brethren to ward away potential predators and leave scraps. As such, the majority of a pygmy’s diet is scavenged. Due to their tiny size, pygmies do not breed with larger varieties of dragons.

Navishine, with her enthusiastic way of announcing her newest discoveries and thoughts, sometimes seems more like a Misfit than a Nilia. Whenever she finds something interesting or has an idea, she has a habit of exclaiming "Hey, listen!" to anyone within earshot. If nobody pays attention to her the first time, she'll repeat herself until someone gives in and responds. As she is quite a curious dragon, this happens fairly often, and the others in the cave aren't exactly sure how to handle it. Some (very few) abhor her actions and think she should be quieted, while others argue that her information is sometimes helpful and that she isn't doing anything wrong. Throughout the debating, Navishine never lets it bother her and continues this odd, albeit helpful, behavior.
