Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

Kabocha no koibito loves Halloween because of all of the pumpkins that are left out. He likes to wander around the village in search of the best jack o'lantern and makes his home there. The humans love him because he is sweet and plays with the kids, so they have a competition each year to see who can carve the best pumpkin that pleases Kabocha. When people are done carving their pumpkins they keep it lit. They know that kabocha is living in theirs if the candle has been blown out because he likes to sleep in the dark rather than with the light of a candle. He loves the attention that he gets each year with this competition.

His name means pumpkin lover.
