They're a character In dark souls. They're a "pygmy" because their colleagues are all gigantic arrogant racist gods, but the Furtive Pygmy is actually the ancestor of humanity. When the gods discovered the souls that gave them power they took the big, bright, impressive souls. The Furtive Pygmy
Took the least soul, the Dark Soul. When the gods realized the Dark Soul was capable of growth while their mighty souls could only diminish they were horrified and placed a cruel binding on the human's Dark Soul to try to keep them subservient and under control. One of the themes of the game is
Learning about and trying to throw off this oppression of the gods and realize the potential of humanity's dark souls to flourish after the God's fire has gone out.
