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.

Starrfyre is a very playful, energetic little dragon. She loves the morning, waking early to watch the sunrise and listen to the birds begin their morning serenades (and hopefully catch one for breakfast). Despite her size, she is almost fearless and loves adventure, which tends to get her into trouble. She goes beyond irritated when another, larger dragon tries to tease her, striking out at the offender with sharp talons and trilling shrilly. This fiery attitude and her energy make her seem a bit obnoxious, but she's very friendly and not in the least shy, which has gained her many true friends (most of whom are of the larger variety of dragon, therefore doubling as protectors).
