Crimson Flare Pygmies are named after their small size and speed. They are fast and love to fly up and down in steep climbs and dives, giving the impression of a flare of color in the sky. These dragons travel in swarms during migration seasons and are very social. They live in tropical locations or wherever it is warm, and they are often seen near active volcanoes.

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.

Thankfullness is a small, crimson red pygmy dragon. When he was younger, he and three other eggs were hatched together. Thanks was the first to hatch. When he was with the other hatchlings, he would often wonder why he was so small compared to them. He later found out he was a breed of small dragons, and felt quite relieved. However, being the smallest dragon in the scroll isn't always the easiest. Thanks was often left out, or treated more carefully than his "Siblings". This continued on for quite awhile, until the pygmy stumbled across a small egg. He took the egg home, and raised it like his own child. He currently is a mellow, caring, and a little bit sensitive dragon, who hopes to earn a name for himself in the world.
