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.

TinyCoins is a very sly dragon. Despite his father's scavenger lifestyle he prefers to go out there and hunt for his own food. The only problem with this is that he thinks that having to track down the prey to eat wastes time and energy. Whenever another dragon goes into the wilderness to hunt he tags along and drifts soundlessly along the ground. Once prey is sighted he sneaks out of reach and darts forward. Starling the hunting dragon and the prey. By startling them both confusion follows and he is able to grab the prey and run before either of them can figure out what had happened. He is smart and also knows how to steal, which he says is different from scavenging. All of his time is spent eating, and then sleeping in a crevice in the cave wall. Once he is rested he goes out to 'hunt' some more.
