Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

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.

Raiea hadn't been quite sure what to expect when she and her flock joined the Karev Entertainers.  Certainly, she could never have predicted anyone like Skaks.  Her flockmates went on to do various bit parts and the occasional musical number, but Raiea's life was far different after she caught the eye of the resident daredevil water walker.  With Skaks' help and support, Raiea became a star, no less than Mivvit and the others, and though she's too shy to speak when under the harsh magelights of the stage, she's still counted among the primary performers.  Raiea and Skaks have a relationship of sorts, for all that they come from such different breeds, and it's now rare to see the two of them apart.
