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.

Edea has a rather cool nature and is constantly trying to tie down Garland long enough to get some decisions out of him. As leader it is his duty to look after the pygmy min-clan and work out relations with the other dragons. However, because of his love of cooking, she finds it almost impossible to locate him when he is needed and regularly spends an entire night trying to track him down.

When Edea isn't running around after Garland, she prefers to spend her time alone reading. She has quite the collection of books that she has secured away in her own private hiding place and gets annoyed when she is away from them for to long.

Edea also has the privilege of being allowed to sit on the cave mistress's shoulder when she visits the clan, mostly because Edea bats away any of the other dragons when they try it.
