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.

Luch'og Beag is a rather broken Gaelic translation of "Little Mouse". Despite his small size, Luch'og seems to think he is as big as all the others in the cave. He is the first to jump into a fight with a much larger dragon, though he appears more comical than frightening when he does so. The other dragons merely chuckle and gently brush him away, finding him rather cute, to the aggravation of poor Luch'og. He's just waiting for the day when danger strikes and he, the Mighty Hero Luch'og Beag, saves his cave mates and proves to Mornaug that he is just as fierce as Ikkan. Who knows...  Perhaps Little Mouse will prove himself to be Giant Beast one day.
