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.

Nugget is a Pygmy dragon with a rather lazy way on life. He prefers to lay around or eat than do work for he feels that his so called position of high ranking gives him the right to do so. Nugget claims himself to be the male head of the Pygmy flock, despite there being older or more responsible males. The only time Nugget does anything outside eat, sleep, and eat some more is when he is showing off to impress the girls, unfortunately Pygmy females aren't the only ones he shows off too. Despite his so called charm, Nugget doesn't have a official mate, though he's the father of Dax and his older sister. Nugget feels he doesn't need one and is content of just being single and waste his time the way he likes it, with no fatherly duties.
