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.

This dragon was named after the first words he heard from his owner, when he was still in the egg. The lady found herself in the middle of a very noisy and explosive New Year's Eve celebration, organised in a village near the cave, and was so scared she quickly grabbed two random eggs she didn't really want to take, before running away like crazy.

From the moment he came out of his shell (and even before hatching) George put all his effort into getting in his owner's way, making her trip at least two times a day and curse hard enough to scare Mints; for joke other dragons call him Jack the Tripper, and he finds this nickname quite amusing (he's planning to use it for his first son).
