Seawyrm Pygmies are little dragons that live by the ocean, coasting on the winds above and diving down straight into the water whenever they spot a choice fish. Before their wings grow in, they spend the majority of their time in the sea, their tail fin extending over halfway up their bodies and allowing them to maneuver quickly and easily through the reefs. As they age, they give up some of their maneuverability in the water as that fin recedes into a tail fin better suited for flight. When a Seawyrm Pygmy finds a mate, they will perform synchronized dives together before burying their eggs in the shallow sands, where their eggs can hatch protected from larger predators.

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.

Dewedrop lives near the brackish Cumberland Lake with his close friend and idol, Lichtie Hero's Glow. When he was just a hatchling, Lichtie Hero's Glow saved him from meeting an early death when he nearly tumbled from a cliff. Since then, he has dedicated his life to be half of the hero that he perceives Lichtie to be. Each day, he patrols the banks of the lake, searching for hatchlings and dragons who are in danger. When he spots anyone in danger, he alerts his sea-dwelling friends to come to the rescue.

Unlike his idol, he has saved dozens of hatchlings in peril of drowning. Many of EG's dragons hail him as a true hero, but he always gives all credit to Lichtie.
