Mimic Pygmies seem quite harmless during the day with their impish grins. However, at dusk they show their true nature, drawing on Death mana to imitate the voices of the dead, using their mimicry to lure the unsuspecting into an ambush. Once drawn into the circle of their colony, Mimic dragons will attack in a swarm, disabling their victim then settling down to lap up the welling blood from their still-living prey.

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.

Since Hvloc was the first Mimic Pygmy in the owner's cave of dragons, he has made a group for the three other Mimics to join in together, called TheSinisterCreeps. He believes that the three others are his brothers and sisters, since they were all born together at the same time, but two of them were born from the jungle instead of the forest. Hvloc is considered the leader of the group; he even got his first kill on a bird to prove his skills. In the morning, he likes to grin at the owner's dragons passing by him, and then make them jump out of their skin by growling or roaring in a groggily, death-like voice using Death mana. His brother and sisters laugh at the more easily scared ones, and of course, mock them by calling them scaredy-cats.
