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.

Menkoi, as his name suggests, is a adorable little pygmy dragon with a sweet demeanor and an even sweeter smile. But don't let his cute face fool you. If you get this tiny powerhouse angry you are guaranteed to walk away with at least a few bumps, cuts and bruises. As feisty as he is small, Menkoi hates it when people underestimate him due to his size.

To compensate for his height Menkoi will often fly up to, or climb, the largest object or landmark he can find and in order speak "eye-to-eye" with other dragons and, sometimes, with people. Remember, he's cute, but don't tell him that!
