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.

One of the clan's darlings, Choti is the sweetest dragon one could ever hope to meet. She and her mate, Rupaya Choori, are absolutely as in love as anyone could ever be. Choti would do anything for her mate, and it is her greatest delight to make him happy. Rupaya often brings her flowers or brightly colored stones, to her greatest delight, and always, whenever she sees him, she happily greets him with little chirps and purrs. Their reunion, even after only a few minutes of separation is always a sweet one, running to each other and rubbing noses, purring and chirping happily in greeting. The two dragons are often fondly called the lovebirds, due to their complete adoration of each other.
