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.

Mowz, since birth, has been no larger than a giant mouse. Not only as big as one, Mowz is cunning and sneaky, just like mice. She is a notorious spy and can often be seen sneaking around the Frozen Hatchling entrance in her cave, as well as listening into other dragon's conversations. Being only one of a few Pygmies in her cave, Mowz has taken an interest in Big Risk, a thrill seeking Pygmy dragon. Their hijinks include stealing pebbles from earth dragons and splashing water in the cave's spring. These pranks are subtle, but can be quite an annoyance among most dragons. Mowz is also attracted to flashing lights. Those lights are not common, but can put Mowz into a hypnotic state when they appear in the cave.
