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.

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.

Riva is a daughter of Hachikui and Tsuta, and was raised alongside her brothers Shamiyr and Qenaz. All three arrived in the colony as hatchlings, and were found by their father, who brought them home. Her name means "Ensnarer". Like her brothers, Riva is a little bit of a hot head, and doesn't like when other dragons come near her vines. She wouldn't ever harm any of them, but she does scare the day lights out of them on a semi-frequent basis.
