Pygmys[]
A Pygmy of Each color, at max level 150, to show how their health differs.
Pygmys are large, glowing Jerboas that wander the ark. Sometimes they are spawned in as a "Pygmy Horde", where there will be many pygmys in one place.
Kiling Pygmys grants high-quality loot or resources based on the color that you kill.
Pygmys are skittish creatures, and if you scare one, any and ALL dinos near you, even if they are normally passive, will come to attack you in order to defend the Pygmy.
Because of their high health pools, especially for red pygmys, they can be difficult to fight even though they themselves can't do damage.
They will flee constantly, so using a fast mount or luring them into a trap would be an easy way to kill them.
