Misfit Pygmies are brightly-colored dragons who love to make life miserable for other creatures. When several Misfits group together, it is certain that there is mischief afoot. They do everything they can to tease, causing general mayhem for all. Misfit Dragons will steal food from beneath other dragons’ noses both for fun, and to fill their bellies. While they are known for their tricks and pranks, they have a rarely-displayed sweet side and will search out little treasures to present to their chosen mate.

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.

Marco Ritz is a joker. He likes to pretend the whole world is just one big joke. His fellow Dragonmorphs sometimes find his humor annoying and him a nuisance. But it's not for nothing that he's the second in command of the clan. While he does his hardest to appear like he thinks life is one big joke, he is very serious minded. He looked out for his fellow clan mates even before he fully dedicated himself to his clan. Marco cares very deeply about everyone but hopes to keep his serious side a secret. The other secret he likes to keep is that he's gay and so has this demeanor that appears 'too straight' for those who know what they're looking for.
