Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

A sweet-natured dragon with a great personality, this one absolutely loves sports, and more specifically the ones that are played during fall. Of course, her tiny size keeps her from wrestling around on the football field with all but the tiniest combatants--usually pygmies and human children. Despite her enormous winning drive, she's quite gentle and never bruises her opponents too badly. When not kicking ball bootie herself, she often serves as a referee for games between larger species. She's a stickler for fair fights, and will strictly scold anyone who violates the spirit of sport.
