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.

A master baker, Pumpkin Butter Bread is constantly running around a large, clockwork device he had designed and manufactured for him by Wiren of Nworset City specifically for the purpose of making pumpkin bread. Of course, winter squash being seasonal, he has figured out how to recalibrate his machine seasonally to produce other breads, such as lemon-poppyseed or cinnamon, so he can always have something that Ukulalie can teleport out to all of Star Doe's coffee shops. He gets tired and keeps meaning to get someone else to help run the equipment, but would never dream of giving up his position entirely. He enjoys living and working in Star Doe's magical sylvan glen.
