Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

This dragon has a major problem. He loves pumpkins to be sure, but--he loves pumpkin flowers even MORE. Now, picking pumpkin flowers results in less pumpkins. Less pumpkins results in less houses for pumpkin dragons. Less houses for pumpkin dragons results in more homeless pumpkin dragons! Horrified at the thought, he has resigned himself to admiring the flowers in ways that don't require picking them, daydreaming about the day when there'll be enough pumpkins to go around that he can pick the flowers to his heart's content.
