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 female is absolutely fearless, to the point where the other pygmy dragons around her are torn between squealing in terror and watching in awe whenever she goes about being, well, herself. Considering herself to be the most ferocious alpha female in the land, she'll stomp right up to red dragons a few thousand times her size and kick 'em in the shins if she feels they're annoying her, and she won't hesitate to give more mundane terrors like lightning, fire, blizzards, etc. a piece of her mind either. How the crazy little thing's managed to remain alive so long is accordingly a mystery; perhaps fate (not to mention the larger dragons) can't help but admire her fiery spirit, and let her go on her way in peace accordingly.
