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.

While not insane, strictly speaking, it cannot be denied that Micro is... strange. He may go unseen by the other dragons for days on end, only to suddenly be found crammed into the oddest places possible, such as behind books on a shelf, under a pile of sand, or (on one memorable occasion) inside a birdhouse, with no indication as to how he managed to get in. Micro is downright childlike, possessing incessant curiosity, rampant enthusiasm, and a habit for doing some very strange things for no apparent reason. He often does not seem to notice that the other dragons are there until they start talking to him, prompting him to exclaim, "Oh, hi!". He spouts the most non sequiturs of the group, which makes many wonder as to what track his trains of thought run on.
