Pargulus Pygmies can often be found tending to plants and foraging for food. They like to care for other living things, be it plant or animal, and will often leave the food from their foraging trips outside the dens of those who need it or even just those they think could use a treat. These colorful little dragons are especially attentive to anyone who might be struggling to find food themselves, such as the elderly, the sick, or the very young. Pargulus pygmies have a surprisingly large range considering their small size. They have been known to travel far and wide to find food to bring back to their friends.

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.

Pargulus For the Course collects fruit and nuts from properties around Nworset owned by carnivores who don't want the plant food themselves and don't have enough trees to make it worth their while to harvest and sell to members of the plant-eating communities. He spends a lot of time shelling walnuts to give to all his friends and those in need, so he bought himself a fancy table that's a comfortable height on which to work. It has an elemental symbol on its surface, but is enchanted so that every once in a while the symbol changes into another element's design—for example, from water into magi, then magi into thunder, and so on with no set order. Some think the furniture is rather silly, but Pagulus For the Course enjoys his periodic table of the elements.
