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.

Although daughter of Kage Okami and Toboe's Howl, KageHowl has a deep hatred for her mother, since Toboe murdered her father right in front of young KageHowl. Since then, she has been plotting revenge on Warriors of Light and Toboe. Despite pleas from Dusk, KageHowl wont join Warriors of Dark. Perhaps the reason for this is that she wants nothing to do with the war, just herself and her kin. Since KageHowl is so obsessed with getting her father's soul to pass on, she is cold and distant, even from the three shamans.

Her scales are a dark gold with thin stripes of dark blue and black. She is a large sized Pygmy dragon, about the size of a human head.
