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.

So Much is a plucky little pygmy, charging recklessly at whatever dares to enter his territory, which consists of a puddle, a log, and the land twenty paces all around the log. Most of the intruders are much huge, travel-weary dragons passing through who simply want to get a quick drink from the tiny puddle. But So Much will have none of that! The bewildered dragons are attacked by a raging blur of pastel orange. So Much really cant do much harm, but the constant screeching noise he makes when he attacks is not unlike a mosquito and even the giant trespassers soon become annoyed and leave. So Much's tiny children are amazed at his bravado and power and wish to have the courage and strength of their father someday. So Much proudly declares that with their genes, there is no doubt they will. So Much's mate just rolls her eyes and hopes that they won't get squished by a thirsty, irritable dragon someday.
