Dusk Pygmies, as their name may suggest, are crepuscular dragons. When the sun sets, they are most active and are commonly seen darting across the sky, the fading sunlight catching and reflecting off of their wings in brilliant patterns. Living in small, tight-knit groups, these pygmies spend many of their waking hours stretching their wings by fetching food for group members. The young, elderly, disabled, and injured are all diligently and lovingly cared for by all of the group. Though rather intelligent, they are easily distracted. Some Dusk Pygmies are prone to hoarding objects that may distract them; others may return late to their roost, long after most of their other group members are already sleeping.

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.

Chandra is a more serious, secluded Dusk. He prefers spending his time alone, gliding through the sky and taking in its beauty. He tends to isolate himself from his family. Not that he hates them or anything, he just doesn't deal well with other dragons and needs his alone time to be comfortable. His wife, Sixgill, who is much more social, doesn't really understand this and usually rolls her eyes at it. Even so, she knows Chandra is a good guy who will always be around to protect her. Even after their occasional arguments, Chandra will never let anything bad happen to her or the rest of his family for that matter. He doesn't like violence or blood. Usually, he avoids more aggressive dragons and, whenever he does encounter them, will opt to use his agility and intelligence to deal with them. Chandra is very intelligent, especially for a Dusk, though he too falls victim to his breed's easily distractable nature. He does however have the capacity to try and fight it and better himself.
