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.

Pyranoma was once the Matriarch of a small Troupe of Pygmy Dragons. She was a decent Leader and always made sure that the Troupe had enough to eat (Her love for food is one reason why she's so chunky!). One night, during the Summer, Pyranoma's tiny Clan had built a grassy nest in a strange forest. They were on the move again; looking for another Clan of dragons to scavenge from. That night, as the others were asleep, Pyranoma had gone to the river to catch some bugs (her favorite snack). She feasted until she smelled the smoke. There was a forest fire that consumed everything in it's wake- including her Clan. After wandering the Valley for a few days, she was found by Lukrios, who took her back to his Clan. They are now Mates. She is often seen chirping ceaselessly, and nagging him with her shrill telepathic voice. Having been a Matriarch, Pyranoma is somewhat controlling.
