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.

ookkG is the leader of a small musical troupe—at least, she is of the opinion that she is band-leader. She is the only member who has a head for numbers, so she determines where they go to perform, based on how much each venue pays and oKKdx's estimates of how long it takes to get there. Her favoured instrument is guitar and audiences are often fascinated at how she plays an instrument bigger than she is, by holding it with her feet, doing the fingering with her forepaws, and strumming with her tail—all while hovering or fluttering around the stage! She is so busy managing the numbers, she delegates choreography to 0GxGo and pathfinding to oKKDx. Those tasks aren't leading. The hardest part is convincing O0Gos, the pale lumina, to think the idea to go wherever makes the most financial sense was his so that he doesn't whine about the choice. If O0Gos wasn't such a great performer and makeup artist, ookkG would have thrown him out ages ago.
