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.

Mini is a somewhat meek pygmy but no less affectionate. He typically stays close to his mate, Agility, even though she is more antisocial and avoidant of others. He enjoys the security that comes with being in a group. If he is ever alone, Mini becomes shy and skittish. He is generally pretty quiet, unlike the majority of his sister in-law's family, which are Avins. Like other Commons, he prefers to communicate through body language, which is perfect for the quiet, reserved Agility. The two of them often hide away is Agility's study, usually to avoid their louder Avin kin, and spend the days reading and enjoying each others' company. Mini is a fairly talented hunter for a Common, although he prefers sticking to foraged meals he doesn't have to brave against. He's the kind of dragon who takes the safe route over the risky route. He's cautious of strangers, especially if they are of a larger breed, and is quick to evade danger when it appears. If given time though, he will warm up.
