Cheese Dragons are not actually alive. They are enchanted items of food that act almost identically to dragons. They have no need to eat, but they must “live” in humid environments or they will dry out and harden.

Litl is a lot smaller than your average cheese dragon, if enchanted cheese can be called 'average'. He's about the size of a mozzarella ball, possibly a one-bite snack. Somehow, this doesn't seem to bother him—or, it. Kaini tends to treat them as if they were alive, even though she knows they aren't.

Litl can often be seen riding around on Kai's shoulder, mostly to keep him within reach so he doesn't wind up an accidental snack.
