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.

Oblitstella, nicknamed Ella, grew up with two other dragons of very different types: Vapidus the Shadow Walker and Iaspis the Cavern Lurker. It was an unruly combination when they hatched together. Vapidus ended up as a guardian to the tiny Ella when he was not roaming in other realms, warding off lunges from the aggressive Iaspis.

When they grew, Ella remained in the house of the caretaker, not being picky about what she would take as her "pumpkin." She can often be found in vases, blankets, bowls, any hollow objects, and only occasionally amongst the pumpkins in the caretaker's indoor garden. However, she does wander outside of the small island when she travels with her caretaker to the mainland. She has a knack for going into other human residences in search of objects to decorate her hiding places before she gets scared off, back to her caretaker.
