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.

"Thank you for your generous donation to the feed-a-friend fund!" this dragon quips, right before digging into whatever his baffled victim was about to eat. Possessing nerves of steel (and a rather tiny brain), Alsedrii thinks nothing of pilfering food from right under the noses of much larger, angrier dragons--a habit that's led to more near death encounters than he can count on fingers, toes, and tail alike. Nonetheless a quick reaction time and nimble wings have kept him intact, the cheeky rogue plundering his way across field and forest in search of food. While he'll take anything he can get his paws on, he's especially fond of pumpkins, and has been known to start munching on even those with resident pumpkin pygmies inside!
