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.

Teeny, being the youngest hatchling in the Sider brood, looks up quite a bit to her older siblings. She tends to idolize those around her, be they members of her family or outsiders she meets while scavenging through the alpine woodlands her family lives near. This also, unfortunately, means that Teeny is rather gullible and easy to manipulate. She is very easily drawn toward anything new, possessing the curiosity of an infant hatchling. She is also slow to spot incoming danger, even with multiple red flags being flown. In essence, she is not a very smart dragon and must be protected by her older siblings. It is a relief at least that, above all else, she will listen to whatever her brother, Admiral, has to saw and believe it fully. Of course, whatever information she receives from Admiral isn't always retained or applied. When Admiral tells her not to talk to strangers, she's quick to disregard it if said stranger offers her a treat or is particularly pleasant to be around.
