Misfit Pygmies are brightly-colored dragons who love to make life miserable for other creatures. When several Misfits group together, it is certain that there is mischief afoot. They do everything they can to tease, causing general mayhem for all. Misfit Dragons will steal food from beneath other dragons’ noses both for fun, and to fill their bellies. While they are known for their tricks and pranks, they have a rarely-displayed sweet side and will search out little treasures to present to their chosen mate.

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.

My Fig My Spit likes to sneak into dwellings and arrange any small, loose objects into amusing messages. Even Robert the Despicable Desipis, with his on-duty guards and magical barriers, hasn't been able to figure out who is responsible for spreading his hoard around the ground. Unfortunately, My Fig My Spit is illiterate, so the "messages" are in fact composed of made-up squiggles that (sometimes) resemble a written language. Some targets assume a mysterious magical entity or ghost has contacted them with an important directive in an unknown language, prompting them to attempt to document and conduct research into these strange messages.
