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.

Patrick has always looked up to the larger dragons. He has always envied how free they were, and how they could travel without the fear of being struck down by their enemies. It amazes him how powerful they are. As a hatchling, he would dream of being just like one of those mighty beasts. His friends, mother dragons that were raised with him, always told him it was impossible. However, Patrick never lost hope. He still wishes to be just like one of the great dragons today. That one day he too could fly through the sky, up in the clouds by the sides of the daydream dragons.

His interests may be in the sky, but his love life remains in the size of a simple cat. Since the moment he hatched from his egg, he has had feelings for a special little Pygmy dragon. Her name, is Katie. Some days, he would consider giving up all his dreams to gain her heart. A wild imagination, a big heart, and a bubbly personality. Amazing feats are expected of this little Pygmy Dragon.
