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.

Despite reassurances to the contrary, a little bit of Carolus -- named after Carl Linnaeus -- still believes the teasing about being taken in by his clan solely to be breeding stock. Not that he remembers most of the time, for he is very much in love with Ellia, his mate. He gets along well enough with the rest of the Shadowcharm dragons, sometimes even allowing the clan hatchlings to play among his vines. However, woe be to any intruder that sets foot within his reach.
