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.

As Nehane Hatake was walking across a large clearing, she noticed one spot that flourished. Nehane Hatake walked towards it wondering what the meaning of this was. Then Nehane Hatake stopped when she saw a coyote get swallowed up in the vines. Nehane Hatake then spotted an egg nearby the vines; it was dark green and also had flowers around it. Nehane Hatake picked it up and cared for it for a few days and showed it to everyone. One day it hatched and she saw it was a female, she named her Hamoko. Nehane Hatake later learned that Hamoko liked staying underground so, she was very hard to keep track of. Now that Hamoko is an adult, she doesn't need Nehane Hatake anymore... Nehane Hatake still comes to visit Hamoko and watches her behavior every day, proud that she saved this beautiful dragons life. Thus, she plans to save as many as she can...
