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.

This dragon is known as Roderic the Lurcher, Ric the G-man, Rod the Spy, Rodric the Silly, or just Roderic. He is known to have two faces: a playful one which likes to annoy everyone, to follow everyone, and to tell silly jokes at every occasion, and and one which is serious, silent, and observing. That's when he is in his Spy-modus; following some dragons to listen to what they have to say without them knowing it. This can be useful when he detects traitors in the cave or when he spies on rivals. That's why he's been assigned as the Spy of the cave; he's really good at it and has a big memory. He has a particular dislike toward Pollux.
