Pumpkin Dragons are a very small breed, named after their affinity for pumpkins. They are always found living inside hollowed-out pumpkins, and are only seen during the harvest season. Young children often hollow out and decorate their pumpkins in the hope that a Pumpkin Dragon will make it his or her home.

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.

An exceptionally enthusiastic creature, this dragon has always been happy to do his best in whatever task is set before him. Accordingly, when some of his fellow tribe members approached him and asked him to perform a "Dance of the Toad--", he was all too pleased to accept, dashing off to prepare without a second's hesitation! Of course, what this meant was that when the planned day came, his performance consisted of a whole hoard of his warty swamp friends performing a Dance of the TOADS as opposed to the cute, pygmies-wearing-mushroom-outfits synchronized Dance of the TOADSTOOLS which the committee had actually asked for! While some of the board were traumatized by the affair, the vast majority of judges and audience members alike considered it a wonderful improvement, and to this day his amphibian laden performance is a top hit wherever it plays within his jungle home, much to his and his toads' delight.
