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.

Sky--Light...a very unusual dragon.  She is minuscule, even for a pygmy dragon, but her size has never stopped her from causing problems for the other dragons!  If it wasn't for her coloration, many of the other dragons of the cave would think that she was a misfit pygmy—she certainly acts like one.  Best friends and often seen plotting mischief with an Electric dragon who she calls Bel, Sky--Light—or as Bel calls her, Skyle—seems to make it her life's work to make the other dragons miserable.  They consider her to be a tiny menace, and she lives up to it quite well, always flying in their faces and tugging at their scales, as well as leading their hatchlings astray so the adults will have to come looking for them, led on by their piteous cries.  Even the largest of dragons cower in fear at the sight of Skyle, for none know who will be her next victim, or what she intends to do next.
