Mistlet Pygmies thrive in humid environments and are most content when frolicking in the rain or fog. The cheerful demeanor they exhibit provides a remarkable contrast to their shadowy appearance, bringing joy in otherwise gloomy environments. Mistlets are an especially beautiful sight in long summer evenings, as their streak of vibrant scales catch the fading sunlight. They spend a great deal of their time foraging for edible roots and insects, and sometimes enjoy treats in the form of small fish or frogs.

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.

"Hey, look at that! Something died!"

Ash is known for one thing: the way she always has a habit of finding dead things, pointing them out, and then rolling in them. Her favorite 'rollable' creatures--dead rats, deer, and anything else she can find stashed under rocks or at the bottom of a barrel.

The other Republicators are horrified at her extremely odd behavior, leading many to scatter whenever she shows up. Tales have flown around about her habits, rumors and beliefs. Some say that she used to be white. Others claim that she was frozen at one point, like Chell. Others say she's just weird.
