Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

Admiral has sort of taken up the mantle as lead sibling in his unit, despite being the fourth youngest. He is easily the most skilled and physically built of his siblings, as well as the smartest. Because of this, Admiral feels the need to protect his siblings and ensure they are all happy and safe. A lofty task, but Admiral has never been one to back down from a challenge. He is definitely considered a father figure among his siblings, mostly because he acts more like one than their actual dad, Mini. Admiral will often hunt for his siblings, bringing them fresh food, so they don't have to scavenge. However, his protective behavior often warps into over-protection. Admiral has been known to keep an extra close eye on his siblings, to the point where many of them can never get a moment alone. This works fine for super social butterflies like Pequeno and Small, who enjoy the constant attention, but not for everyone. The problem is Admiral is so stubborn, he won't leave any of them alone.
