Seawyrm Pygmies are little dragons that live by the ocean, coasting on the winds above and diving down straight into the water whenever they spot a choice fish. Before their wings grow in, they spend the majority of their time in the sea, their tail fin extending over halfway up their bodies and allowing them to maneuver quickly and easily through the reefs. As they age, they give up some of their maneuverability in the water as that fin recedes into a tail fin better suited for flight. When a Seawyrm Pygmy finds a mate, they will perform synchronized dives together before burying their eggs in the shallow sands, where their eggs can hatch protected from larger predators.

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.

Though everyone thought, that Wilaiap would live with his Seawyrm Pygmy father, he chose to live with his mother, a Dark Myst Pygmy, in the dark and humid swamps. His mother loves to teach Wilaiap about every little thing she knows, but because she only learned everything on her own, Wilaiap can't really rely on her knowledge. And yet he roams around the swamps with the map his mother drew and helps lost creatures, humans or dragons to find their way out.

While rather friendly, Wilaiap loves to hang out with a Misfit gang and often gets into trouble. His mother hopes that her son will grow out of it before he gets into too serious trouble.
