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.

Kabocha Calabaza, as her name suggests, lives only in kabocha pumpkins. The little dragon has a skin condition that only the constant contact of the kabocha's cool flesh can cure. Poor little Kabocha is always trying to make a new home for herself, for no human child seems to be interested in carving the rock-hard kabocha pumpkin for her. Though her little teeth and claws are always worn down from her carving attempts, Kabocha often enjoys carve-off challenges with the other pumpkin dragons.
