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.

Frost likes to decorate himself. A chain of metal or feathers around his neck or tail, pretty leaves in the fall, whatever catches his eye. He does it mainly for himself, since he's rather shy. Honey seems to be the exception, and he's spent time with her (when she isn't spending time with Jet) for as long as he can remember. She's encouraged him to start performing for the other dragons, aerial acrobatics that show off his decorations. He's quite agile, really, and has a lot of energy. This means he has plenty of fun performing, and Honey sometimes joins him. Jet doesn't like him, and there's some resentment on Frost's end, as well, though he prefers to avoid confrontation so he'll often avoid Jet rather than get sucked into an argument. When he does, it escalates quickly, and they usually have to be forcefully separated. He's more physically affectionate with Honey than Jet is with her, and more often than not one will find the two hugging or curled up together for a nap.
