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.

This little dragon has an insatiable curiosity.  In his case, it's manifested in his desire to know what happens when he mixes various substances together.  While the results can sometimes be quite delightful, such as delicious new baking recipes, he had the unfortunate tendency to choose compounds that react in an explosive manner.  Abrakaboom's body is a map of the many instances when he was too slow to avoid injury due to his mistakes, with a patchwork of burn scars crisscrossing his once-shiny scales.  One would think that after losing one eye and half of his tail, he would resort to less dangerous pastimes, but Boom doesn't really mind.  It's all for the sake of science, after all!
