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 Edmyn the Unprepared Memorial Item Library has a variety of ways of preventing lost items. Usually, the obnoxious enchantments are enough, but Tregarath also employs several pygmy dragons to go along on less dangerous adventures and guilt-trip adventurers into bringing items back to the library. Tesluo is usually her first choice, as she has the knack for encouraging responsibility without being too obnoxious about it. She's also a valuable source of advice for anyone who cares to listen, as she's been on enough quests to have a feel for what works and what doesn't. One adventurer gave her a small black book she could use as a prop when dispensing advice. The book appealed to her sense of whimsy, so now it's her most prized possession.
