Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

Once upon a time, a little prince tended a beautiful garden, filled to the brim with bright red roses, luscious strawberries, sweet blueberries, soft velvet violets, graceful lilies, vibrant plants in all colors of the rainbow.  His favorites by far were the pumpkin vines, and he lavished his love upon them, making sure they had the best fertilizer, the purest water, and just the right amount of sun.  He even talked to them, telling them of his problems.  One day, an evil witch cast a terrible curse upon the poor prince, and he fell into a deep, dark sleep.  Unbeknownst to them, a little dragon named Hedgeling Krysantinos lived in the prince's pumpkin patch.  He loved the way the prince cared for his pumpkins, and he became determined to save him  Using magic known only to his kind, Santi freed the prince and defeated the evil witch.  Today, the two are inseparable, and the prince is always sure to plant a new pumpkin patch for Santi every year.
