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.

Briar and his lifemate, Evumeimei, are the starting couple of their clan's Winding Circle lineage. Though he is sharp-tongued, abrasive and sometimes threatening, Briar holds a soft spot in his heart for his lifemate and son. Perhaps his arranged union between himself and Evumeimei did not develop into the kind of love the Water Horses of the Faerie Lineage seem to share between them, but Briar is grateful to Evumeimei for giving him a family and holds both of them dear to him.
