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.

Of course Malay isn't really a giant. Sadly, he has been mocked by other dragons of his owner for being the smallest of them all. Because he was abandoned by his parents, he was happy that he was found, but the humiliation of being not much bigger than an average cat haunts him every day. He usually stays in holes of caves but his golden skin makes him stand out in the dark and every time a mean dragon sees him, he gets laughed at. Sadly, even other pygmies laugh at him, because some of them are even twice his size. But his owner loves him like he is and often takes him home from those mean dragons. He is considered a cat with wings by other dragons, but his owner knows better and would never insult him.
