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.

Tiny Flicker of Hope often feels left out as he watches larger dragons socialize, but he's happy to play with Shy Little Future the Mint dragon. He is more of a loner than a social person but is happy to join a conversation or group. Tiny Flicker of Hope tags along with a large group of even larger dragons, and is often unsure of what to say and when to say it.

Tiny Flicker of Hope has gotten more excitable since he found out he has many brothers and sisters, step-sisters and step-brothers. Although his lineage can't be traced very far back at all, he's glad to know he has siblings somewhere in the world of dragons.
