Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Dark green dragons, once they mature, appear to become an entirely different species. However, this isn’t true. Rather, they burrow underground and get nutrients from their vines. These vines are sometimes referred to as Dragon Grass. These dragons are very violent, and will use their vines to capture, kill, and eat anything that moves, as well as nearby plants. Luckily, their range is limited and they cannot use magic. Dark green dragons tend to be easy to spot since they usually kill all plants around them and thus are usually surrounded by a large clearing.

Therongios is the son of Diantheron and Theronius, and inherited the skills of his parents at hunting prey that comes within reach of his vines.  However, one creature has come within reach of his vines and earned his trust - the beautiful white Yamha, who became his mate.  When they are together, she can be seen sitting in the shade of his vines.

He even foregoes eating meat when Yamha is with him (although he hunts as usual when she is not around), and to date, they have two offspring together, one vine and one white.  Strange as it sounds, this union of opposites may just succeed.
