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.

Tsoot lives in a city entirely of dracons. Her weyr is in an enchanted jack-o-lantern immune to decomposition and rot, which sits in a classroom where she teaches written language to wyrmlings of all ages. She has perfected a spell that makes large things seem small or small things seem large, so her size does not hamper her ability to teach those much larger than herself.

Little is known about Tsoot's true personality, as she spends the majority of her time teaching and grading. It is known that she has been substituting coffee for sleep regularly, and that this is a habit she wishes to stop. Recently there has been a "coffee fungus" on her classroom wall that she adds to every time she drinks a cup of coffee. It has been growing quite large.
