Common Pygmies are sweet in temperament and palate. They spend a fair amount of time foraging for and scavenging food but have a particular fondness for sweet tasting treats, such as honey. When pickings are slim, they can hunt songbirds and small mammals. Common Pygmies stay in large groups, migrating alongside their food supply. Although capable of the same basic vocal sounds of most other dragons, Common Pygmies prefer to communicate through body language. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that Common Pygmy hatchlings are rather affectionate.

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.

Lovingly referred as "SIRI" or "CEREAL" by those he's familiar with, this Pygmy is the head chief of his cave, the first-born.

Siriolis is a well-respected dragon in his cave. Despite his small size and stature, he was never once deterred from caring for all the eggs and hatchlings with fervor. His nurturing personality stemmed from his time as a hatchling. Instead of running away when he first hatched, Siriolis stayed in the cave he hatched in, beside three other larger, unhatched eggs. Besides going out to hunt, Siriolis deticated most of his time to care for three other eggs until they soon hatched as well. He raised the three dragons, whom eventually out grew Siriolis himself and gave them their names: "Veigis" the second born, "Sulma" the third, and "Windelm" the fourth.
