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.

User Description

Sparrow, one of Dragontown's Pygmy Mousers, prides himself on his intelligence.  He views hunting rats as a matter of outwitting them, and will invent such elaborate strategies for catching his prey that hunting partners will usually snap at him to quit being clever and just dispatch the thing.  Kestrel tried turning Sparrow over to Isalba, hoping that he'd make a better Pygmy Courier than he had a Pygmy Mouser.  However, Sparrow got bored so quickly with delivering messages that he started composing riddles that clients had to answer before he'd let them have their mail.  After numerous complaints from customers (especially those who'd been forced to solve complicated problems to get their morning mail before even having a cup of tea), Sparrow returned to the Pygmy Mousers, where he remains to this day.
