Misfit Pygmies are brightly-colored dragons who love to make life miserable for other creatures. When several Misfits group together, it is certain that there is mischief afoot. They do everything they can to tease, causing general mayhem for all. Misfit Dragons will steal food from beneath other dragons’ noses both for fun, and to fill their bellies. While they are known for their tricks and pranks, they have a rarely-displayed sweet side and will search out little treasures to present to their chosen mate.

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.

Dash is very quick as a young drake, and enjoys teasing the other dragons to no end. But sometimes he shows a sweet side, too. For example, when the dragons from his family are being annoyed or bullied by other dragons, he rushes to defend his family. At first the bigger dragons laugh at him because of his misgiving size, but they all too soon realize that they are no match for his quick-tounged talking and speed of wit and mind, and they can't catch him. The bigger dragons always end up looking like fools themselves and are often laughed at by their own. They then flee never to make the mistake of crossing tounges with Dash again.
