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.

Morwinth still isn't quite sure how it all happened. All he wanted was a chance to perform, but he was too self-conscious to try the local theater. Instead, Morwinth found a street performer with a puppet show, offered to help, and before he knew it found himself with the lead puppet's role and wearing its elaborate costume. His part mainly consists of either whacking the other puppets with a stick while cackling in triumph or being hit himself, and he finishes every show with a headache. When Morwinth complains, he's told that Punch and Judy shows are a time-honored tradition and that he should be grateful to be playing Punch. Morwinth would be only too pleased to hand the honor over to someone else, but he'd rather stay than lose his one chance at stardom.
