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.

DangerousPygmy is a very unusual Pygmy Dragon. While his species is too small to mate with a big dragon, DangerousPygmy has fallen in love with two dragons so much bigger than him. His mate MossDorkface and co-mate DangerousMidnight were in love when they came upon DangerousPygmy hurt and alone. The three of them felt an immediate bond. Within weeks the three were sleeping curled up in a pile. DangerousPygmy is in the military of his cave, just like both of his mates, in the Third Wing which is led by DangerousMidnight. DangerousPygmy isn't built for fighting, and needs help from one of his mates when in battle; but he has some of the best eyes in the cave. DangerousPygmy has spotted far off trouble more times than his mates can count.
