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.

Scarlett is a very spunky dragon, always quick to fight, and never without a snappy retort. Her bite is just as sharp as her bark, though, and she has earned a bit of a reputation among the tougher dragons as 'Someone You Don't Mess Around With'.

Despite her toughness, Scarlett can be quite sweet. She enjoys teaching the hatchlings how to defend themselves, and, despite what some parents think, she does it out of caring for the hatchlings' well-being, not to start fights. Scarlett doesn't always understand the consequences of her actions, though, and seems quite surprised when her 'Apprentices' go beating up random adult dragons, demanding treats.
