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.

Tiny Little Ray O'Shine is named for his size and personality. He can be found sitting on his caretaker's shoulder, or on the back of Jack The Russel Dragon when he's not over looking their cave on a ledge too small for the other dragons. He seems to keep a constant watch over the hatchlings in the cave, which is amusing to watch as he is the same size if not smaller than most of them. His mate Pikku Sea helps him with his job making his job now somewhat easier.

As there are more dragons in the cave their owner has now given them assigned jobs to make the cave run smoother. Tiny Little Ray O'Shine: Egg Sitter and Hatchling Caretaker
