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.

The Small Gold is a male Pygmy dragon who has a strange talent. He is an actor. He delights in performing for other dragons and is able to mimic many species, from Vampire dragons to Balloon dragons. Gold's best impression by far is his Two headed dragon act, where he moves his head in different directions to make him appear like a Two headed dragon whose heads are arguing with one another.

  A tiny cave at the foothills of a mountain that forms part of "The Dragon's Teeth" mountain range is The Small Gold's home. He doesn't have many possessions except for a few books on acting. However, Gold doesn't mind this. He can usually be found outside his cave, acting for a group of dragons.

  A happy little dragon, The Small Gold is sometimes a bit overconfident and cannot easily forget his mistakes. However, he is considered to be one of best actors on the lands of HeroHorse.
