Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

Little Vojay is an excitable Pumpkin dragon that loves to hide and watch for the "Great Squash" in the autumn evenings. She's most often found peeping out from a small hole carved into her pumpkin, facing any squash field hoping to catch a glimpse of this mythical figure. Her habit of hiding like this however, has spooked both her and a number of humans and dragons alike; there have been quite a number of times her chosen pumpkin has been disturbed without knowledge of her occupation thereof by everything from a child wishing to carve the fruit to a harvest dragon looking for a snack!
