Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

This little dragoness is quite the Ood-- that is to say, odd-- duck. As is typical for her breed, she is very curious, and she particularly enjoys studying roses, along with any rivers and ponds she comes across. She's even started an exploration club called the T.A.R.D.I.S, which stands for 'Tiny and Radiant Dragon Inquisitive Society', though so far she is its only member. When not out 'exploring the wibbly wobbly timey wimey' as she calls it, she regales anyone who will listen with tales of something called the 'Time War' and of strange beasts called 'Dahlicks' and 'Sighburmen', though where she heard such stories is anyone's guess. Her surprisingly large horde consists, for some reason, entirely of fezzes and bowties she's purloined from nearby villages. If angered or annoyed, she will chase the offending party away, all the while screeching "EXTERMINATE!"
