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.

Always on the lookout for the next big success, Apevket decided to replace some of the pre-play serials, which had gotten stale, with zany standalone sketches. The first few were duds, being mostly song parodies with little characterization, but from such inauspicious beginnings came some of Roaring Lion Productions' greatest stars.

Hvispes only looks sweet and cute. Actually, he's anything but, both on-stage and off. Admittedly, his sketches require him to torment Rexxie, who starts everything by trying to catch and devour his co-star, but Hvispes always deviates from the script just enough to leave Rexxie with painful bruises. Off-stage, he makes sure Rexxie can never enjoy a meal in peace. Audiences are supposed to sympathize with Hvispes, and in some sketches this is the case, but in others they're left feeling sorry for poor, beleaguered Rexxie.
