No one knows how the first Moonblight dragons came to be. Frail and unable to use magic, most are staunch pacifists with gentle natures and a love for warm, sunny days. Some say they were once powerful magic users, whose arcane rituals to draw unnatural strength from the moons went horribly awry. Whatever the case may be, when the moons align—one full, one empty—things tend to get...hairy.

Pygmy Moonblights are an uncommon sight. A stark contrast to other Moonblights, they are often extremely aggressive and highly territorial. Whether this stems from a desire to protect others from their curse or is, in fact, a direct effect of the affliction is unknown.

Warped by their curse, transformed Moonblights are mindless beasts, incapable of recognizing even their own family and friends. They will attack any living creature on sight, passing on their affliction to any dragon unfortunate enough to be wounded by them.

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.
