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.

Lilli was born of the Jinn family, a long line of Pygmy Dragons. She had raised herself, more or less, surviving off of songbirds and other small animals, while larger dragons lumbered about and unintentionally warded away predators, separated from her family when they'd moved to another, more heavily populated region. As soon as Lilli became an adult, she decided to find a mate.

It was one quiet midnight, green eyes observing the forest for the tell-tale signs of another Pygmy- the orange scales and green eyes... But instead, coming upon a group of blue pygmies! It was quite a strange sight for her, as she'd never traveled to the mountains before, and was shocking. A male, Bruno Treen, came forward, trying to start a conversation. She talked to him for a little- discovered that, in fact, he was one of her kind, only differently colored. She thought him rather swell, telling him of her quest for a mate. And that was that! She had a mate, finally.
