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.

Marluxia lives deep within one of the forested areas of the territory. He lives alone and seldom ventures above ground. Constantly hungry, he devours practically everything that wanders into his reach. One of the few to escape his clutches is his mate Yamagishi, with whom he has struck up a rather strange relationship.

He has a zero tolerance attitude towards humans and will kill any who wander nearby, regardless of whether he wishes to eat them or not. The human female that saved him as a wilting hatchling is the only one that may pass by unharmed, but he stays underground and will neither approach nor speak with her.

His vines forever creep forward, extending his reach and destroying the forest around him. He hopes one day to snare a lumberjack who has made several secret trips into the forest and has so far managed to avoid his snaking tendrils. The human has often laughed at his anger from a safe distance and Marluxia watches him walk away with hatred burning in his eyes.
