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.

All dragon have their wings or their feet or their size for a reason. There are the big and the small but those who determined this did not see this as an advantage or disadvantage. If all dragons were the same, then there would be no purpose in having those few who were different. Pyrenice was a member of the smallest race, but he has spoken with the heirarchs and sees as they do.

His favorite place to travel was the desert to visit their close cousins, the albino dragons. Some lived in the desert not far from his mountain home. He was able to fly smooth and fast and had seen many things in the desert. He saw dragons, humans, ruins, burial sites, abandoned towns, and other things he didn't speak of.
