Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

Not much can be said on Brad's behalf other then his rather amazing methods of "courting". All pygmys within the group swoon and click in his presence, all hoping for at least one chance to breed with him. The females have been caught fighting for the honor as he sits back idly and waits for his victor to approach. Even the one male pigmy, Micky the Blitz, continues to peruse Brad with awkwardly amusing clicks and traditional mating ritual flares used by his species. However, none of this bothers Brad. He craves the attention of his peers just as any social center point would, and is not afraid to show off his various females, and maybe male, to the crowd.
