Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

The mountain air was thin and cool but MistTongue didn't mind. He bounced around on the wind doing flips and spins. Something glinted on the side of the mountain and MistTongue decided to check it out. Flying away from the heard a little bit he landed and picked up a silver coin. Suddenly a net came out of no where and captured poor little MistTongue. He let out a high pitched squeal of distress and a blue shape broke away from his group. Uh-oh, he thought. A female landed beside him shaking her head. "What have a told you little mister"

"To stay with the herd" he said reluctantly. His mother sighed and cut him loose. "thank you!" he squealed happily. "How can I stay mad at you" she said her eyes shining with love. They touched muzzles then took flight again rejoining their herd to fly across the mountain.
