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.

L'ucern is often underestimated. Most dragons think him weak, due to his size, but they are wrong. L'ucern is cunning, using his size to his advantage. He can tell right from wrong and always strives to live in the light. He is an excellent strategist, especially in battle, infiltrating enemy lines. L'ucern is a loner by nature. He doesn't enjoy the company of other dragons, although some days he will go outside and flit around with the eagles and hawks, for they are unable to mock his small size. When he was young L'ucern was ridiculed to the breaking point, he fled from his home, abandoning his mother and found Viszla, his ever loving guide.
