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.

Eldriss Littlefeet is the mate of Anders Littlefeet. Eldriss is also fond of Crimson Tailflight and the forever cute Cheeze Ball. She never leaves without Anders and would sometimes get stepped on for her small size. Other dragons would make fun of her and sometimes just try to step on her for fun. Eldriss has gotten more wing and leg injuries than Anders and would usually vow to grant the dragon bad fortune. Despite her size, she, too, played a part in the Datamonster attack. She had scurried between the horrid monster's feet and even nipped at its electric body. She would distract the monster while her foster father as well as her friend, Fantasy Lord, fought the beast off. She escaped with minor injuries. From then on, she was brave and stood up for herself. No dragon dared to anger her, but she still loves Anders.
