Nilia Pygmies reside mostly in mountainous regions, tending to live in large flocks. They are a curious, hyperactive breed; their curiosity often gets them into dangerous situations. Despite this, they are wary around other dragons and animals outside their breed. They are naturally shy and seek their own kind for companionship. Once the trust of a Nilia dragon is earned, they are highly loyal critters, sometimes to the point of being annoying.

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.

Always on the lookout for the next big success, Apevket decided to replace some of the pre-play serials, which had gotten stale, with zany standalone sketches. The first few were duds, being mostly song parodies with little characterization, but from such inauspicious beginnings came some of Roaring Lion Productions' greatest stars.

Vorok, one of the early stars, is more philosophical about his lack of success. He still feels like Roaring Lion Productions made a mistake by not recognizing his star potential, but, well, that's their loss. He vents his frustration by heckling from the audience, and has joined forces with two elderly dragons who seem to attend plays for just that purpose.
