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.

Gord is often the first Pumpkin Dragon to arrive in the Clan's land every fall, making her annual appearance in one of the pumpkin patches in the village of Streamfell. Her presence means that the other Pumpkin Dragons aren't far behind, and so the children of the village often celebrate her arrival, as it means it's time to start carving pumpkins.

She is very kind and helpful; she knows a lot about pumpkins and will make a yearly report to the farmers of the village, such as giving advice on how to care for a certain barren field or what caused a bad harvest that year. At the end of the season, she is usually the last of her kind to disappear.
