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.

Little Flaming Wings has a clever way of hiding from her enemies; she flies through the dawn or dusk skies, her colors matching the sunrise or sunset. She doesn't really have to deal with the dark night or bright day, as she is crepuscular, meaning she is most active at dawn or dusk. However, if an enemy spots her, she'll call for one of the other dragons to make the foe back off while she makes a getaway. Or sometimes, she may just call for more pygmies to help fight it, though it depends on how many pygmies there are, the pygmies' strength, and the strength of the enemy.
