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.

Don Quixote is brave and courageous. Or at least, that is how she sees herself. As with her namesake, she is always tilting at windmills, fighting imaginary battles and in general using her imagination to the fullest. She often has mock battles with even the largest of dragons in the cave and, so sweet and lovable is she, most of the dragons will set dignity aside to play along. She has been 'eaten' a few times, picked up in the mouths of the much larger dragons until she squeaked in protest. She lives life to the fullest and enjoys every minute of fighting against 'injustice' and 'evil'. Few can match her zest if nothing else, even if she is the smallest dragon in the cave.
