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.

Chrysia Parker was born third to her pygmy pack mates Gianna and Praia. Being probably the smallest of her already tiny group, Chrysia relies on her owner and pack mates for protection. She usually hunts down birds and small mammals, but if all three dragons work together they usually could catch something valuable. Chrysia, by far, is the most aesthetically appealing of her dragon brethren. Dragons from other cultures and races seem to telepathically "flirt" with her. She knows that almost every dragon out there is bigger than her, so she rarely gives into the temptations. She met another pygmy named Ignis Beaumont and it was love at first sight. They formed a telepathic bond of allegiance and continuously attempt to breed, even though an egg is never conceived.
