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.

Pygmy's Gold is a hitchhiker. She follows other dragon herds to their mating grounds, and grabs a ride to hers. The Pygmy Dragons mating ground is in the middle of most other species' mating grounds. She is very attractive for a Female Pygmy, but currently has no mate. She has learned everything she knows from Nokama's other dragons, but none will take her to her mating grounds as they don't want to seem subservient to another dragon, making them look weak. So, she travels with others, not caring whether they care or not. She is Nokama's smallest, just barely bigger than half of the hatchlings Nokama owns.
