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.

Behold, seeker of the dragon lore, Enkaivebe of the Pygmy Dragons. Her egg somehow got mixed with chicken's eggs which is why she was hatched and raised in a chicken coop on a farm. This probably is why she makes noises like a clucking hen rather than a dragon. Still, when she matured, an older male Pygmy dragon known as Eebuntu led her away from the farm and they nested together rather successfully in a nearby forest. After some years a younger male appeared in their territory and challenged Eebuntu. He lost and was chased away by his younger opponent. Enkaivebe adapted to the situation very quickly as there had been no eggs or hatchlings by Eebuntu at that time anyway besides one female hatchling suffering from the frozen hatchling syndrome. Epaon was forced to accept her by Enkaivebe who rather brutally made this clear to him by almost biting the end of one of his wings off.

Now she is the constant mate of the Pygmy Dragon Epaon.
