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.

Nrech is a Pygmy Dragon and is known to be very energetic. He is usually running around and chasing his tail as a fun way to pass time. Like his mother, Leie, he is friendly towards humans and other dragons but is shy when first meeting someone new. He tends to be cautious when in new areas and won't fully relax until he gets the feel for the area and the creatures living there. He and his mother Leie usually hang around each other. Nrech is a mama's boy and enjoys his mother's affection. He likes catching his own food when he can but doesn't mind eating scraps. He isn't a pushover, and when another dragon or human tries to steal his food, he will growl and hiss and eat it all quickly.
