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.

One Who Excavates The Past is, as her name suggests, an avid archaeologist. When her vines first burrowed into the ground while she was still a hatchling, she found there were all kinds of interesting artifacts and buildings buried around the weyr. She soon unearthed the ancient foundations of the original human settlement nearby, and is working with the villagers to establish a museum that will house her findings. Her son, Lord Of History And Myth, is writing a series of scrolls on the original settlement based on her research. The two of them believe that their work will change the weyr's beliefs about the history of dragon-human relations.
