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.

No one knows Runt of the Harem's true name, as her nickname was given by Runio when the latter compared his size to the former. Having been intimidated by Runio, Runt of the Harem hides in her personally sized burrow during the day, when most dragons chatter and hunt. She comes out during the night to swipe small pieces of meat from the prey pile, peeling off one or two strips of chicken or pork, and dashing back to her burrow when the first light of dawn emerges.

Being one of the few nocturnal dragons in the harem, Runt of the Harem knows Enzaro's real personality and respects her for it. She is one of the few dragons that Enzaro does not mind being in the company of.
