Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

A small, shy dragon, this male spends most of his time cowering away in his pumpkin, hoping for nothing more than for the day to pass without anyone trying to turn his house into a pie or any kids trying to carve out his innards with sharp carving tools. However, no sooner does the sun set then he suddenly becomes lively, creeping out and about the pumpkin fields, carefully moving pumpkins and gourds into peculiar patterns. The farmers that come to harvest their crops are always rather bewildered by this, and see no sense to the arrangements, but if they would only come at night and look up at the sky above, they would see that the plants are placed to match the arrangements of the stars this tiny dragon so adores.
