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.

Maroon Inferno prefers to call himself 'Fern', for he cherishes all plant life. He will defend all vegetation, eating a strictly all-meat diet, and constantly trying to make other dragons 'meatitarians'.

Though he is often seen gently watering plants and singing songs to them to help them grow, Fern is prone to flying into rages if he so much as sees one innocent bud being stepped on. Fern absolutely loathes Dark Green dragons for their tendency to kill plant life, and he is known to attack them randomly and ferociously, despite the obvious danger.
