Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

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.

Theskith longed for a description so much that she could not wait to be given one, so she 'borrowed' a quill and some ink and wrote her own. Talons designed for grasping prey did not turn out to be that well suited for writing however and one line of shaky, blotchy script was all that she could manage. Her finished description read 'This leetLe draGon lIkeS to flY iN stEep dIVes'. Satisfied, she decided to step back and admire her work, only to find writing that was not her own underneath her description. The writing told her to fix something called 'spelling' that she didn't even know was broken and that she should write a bit more about her personality. She then flew off in disgust exclaiming, "I'm a dragon!"  "You should be pleased that I actually managed to write anything at all!"
