Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

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.

Catching Fire was named after one of flamedreamer's favorite books. The original thought for the name, however, came from the fact that this dragon is found around volcanoes and often appears to be, at first glance, a searing ember whizzing through the air. Catching Fire is spirited and he loves to speed around his fiery home all throughout the day. He enjoys any company that can keep up with him in the sky, and is always ready to play. Others in his cave, however, sometimes see him as a nuisance when he flies by randomly, interrupting any conversation that had been going on at the time. But Catching Fire does not care, he simply want to enjoy his life as it is and urges everyone else to live their lives to their fullest.
