Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

Truly daring and eccentric, Dodger has a knack for getting into and right out of serious trouble. He loves pushing the buttons of and annoying other dragons with his mischief with the same nuance and overall attitude of a Misfit. He'll steal small objects and food, make any range of annoying noises, and, most commonly, just won't leave anyone alone. Dodger intentionally likes to get on other dragons' nerves and see them go ballistic, only to narrowly dodge their inevitable, rage-filled retaliation. In all fairness, Dodger is among the best acrobats in his family, near matching his legendary grandmother, Stone, in skill. Of course, most members of his family don't practice by tormenting others and understandably shame him for it. But, if it wasn't easy enough to tell, Dodger has long abandoned his shame. He knows full well how irritating he is, and rather than shy away from it, he chooses to embrace it and turn it into a sport. Bold, to say the least.
