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.

Rynga is the ultimate definition of a chatterbox. She will rant on and on for hours on end- if you're lucky. Particularly juicy topics will take up days and even weeks for her to describe, blabbing on through mealtime, bathtime and even bedtime. Unsurprisingly, this pesky pygmy has earned herself a permanently damaged right wing (the infinitely rare topic she REFUSES to talk about). Her constant chattering has led the dragons of her hometown, Old Haiveng, to banish her into the wild to free themselves of the incessant noise. She currently lives a solitary life in the mountains... almost solitary, anyway. Perched at the peak lives an ancient stone dragon called Mortuus Petra. He has stood motionless at the top for years, and Rynga soon befriended him, for he did not run in fear at the sound of her voice, nor swat at her angrily as she passed by. To this day she stands at the top of the mountain, almost never leaving his side, for he is quite the attentive listener.
