Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

Very few dragons earn the honorable title of "wolf" earned by becoming one of the closest friends to Dragonwolf. Ice-fangwolf earned this title because he not only is like a pet to Dragonwolf, but he also is an apprentice to the older dragons who is a quick learner, and a loyal companion. He often lets his curiosity get the better of him, and this is one of the few ways that he gets in trouble, but these mistakes are often just laughed over and he often is joked as being a "Dragon Jester" He often wanders away suddenly, returning with gifts for other dragons and Dragonwolf. He is a close friend of Fuzzythesheep-dragon and Smallgoldenwolf.
