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.

Nano-Nistacey is a very spoiled little critter. He is much attached to his mistress, Dianne Daydream, as not a day can pass without him being patted on the head, petted like a cat or fed exquisite treats. Most other dragons envy his easy life and wish he could learn to survive in the harsh wilderness, but, alas, Nistacey has grown up a genuine household dragon.

Though he has a big ego for a tiny dragon, Nistacey has some talent. Curling up around his mistress' neck and peeking from above her shoulder while she was researching new spells, he has learned to use magic as well, which he uses in self-defense, to intimidate other dragons or just to show off. The mistress is pleased with her small assistant, though, because he is always up-to-date with her research and fetches her ingredients for spells and potions.
