Kyanite Pygmies are a feisty breed, always full of energy. Playfully ebullient, these tiny and elusive dragons like to chase after one another, darting in and out of small alcoves and other such hiding places. They often dig small burrows underneath large trees and nibble on the roots for sustenance. They rely on the towering oaks’ formidable trunks and vast immensity to hide them from predators, something their small size aids in. Kyanites also secrete a weak toxin when threatened, which further protects them from intruders. However, this poison is not strong enough to affect larger creatures, humans included.

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.

Dragontown's famous Yuletide pantomime plays are a fusion of two similar draconic and human traditions, with roles played by a mixture of humans and dragons. The plots are paper-thin, the acting over-the-top, and the characters mere caricatures, but nobody goes to these plays for subtlety or nuance. They go to cheer the heroes, boo the villains, and sing along with the actors, as audience participation is a huge part of the appeal.

After being told that he was too small to be an actor and too much of a liability to do anything else (thanks to his lack of wings), Tixig set out to prove everyone wrong. He searched until he found a tone-deaf frilled dragon and offered him a chance at stardom, as long as he could put up with a passenger. The frill got to dance, Tixig got to sing, and everyone was happy.
