Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

Jill Pumpkinpatch is yet another Goldenfield Village adoptee, along with Peppermint Darling and Ochre Ferret.  Every harvest, the villagers all carve pumpkins for her, and she spends a few hours in each, since she doesn't want anyone to feel left out.  Nobody knows where Jill spends the rest of the year, but she always brings a friend with her (usually a pygmy dragon or other small dragon, but on one memorable occasion she arrived late and brought Carol Wintercheer with her).  Jill is sweet and kind, and likes to visit the children of Goldenfield Village, but has less tolerance for games than Peppermint Darling and Ochre Ferret do.  When she's had enough, Jill retreats to her current pumpkin of choice, and the villagers know to leave her alone until she's feeling more social.
