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.

A lot like his mother in most ways, Kyanite is adventurous and spunky. He's always up for some manner of quest or journey, often taking his mate, Wine, far out across their home for the thrill of it. He's a genuinely kind dragon, though admittedly a bit intense in social situations. He always needs to be the cool one in a group, the one who impresses everyone else and makes a scene. If anyone else occupies that role while he's around, he becomes threatened and socially anxious. Kyanite is not a fighter, not by choice anyway, though he isn't afraid to defend himself and family if it comes down to it. He prefers to solve all his problems through trickery and avoidance. He is a prankster by nature and has a knack for outsmarting his foes as opposed to outrunning or out fighting. He's very quick with his words, able to "convince anyone of anything" (his words there.) This cleverness tends to get him in just as much trouble as out of it, and he will usually drag down whoever he's with, too.
