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.

Cassonius has what can be referred to as a big dog complex, meaning he believes he is a much bigger dragon than he really is. Although he weighs in about 1.54 kilograms, or 3.4 pounds, he believes he is somewhere around 91 kilograms, or about 200 pounds. Needless to say, this gives him quite a chip on his shoulder. He loves to quietly dive bomb Waffles the Slow and Cyrano Bergerac from behind because they both react in terror to the sudden attack. Because both Waffles and Cyrano are Ochredrakes, thus having a lesser IQ, they both believe Cassonius is just as big as he claims. The three get along brilliantly together because of this and none are really far apart.
