Finally, after much feeding, the baby has grown into a full Dino! Dinos can eat almost anything, including things with spikes. In order to do so, they must have very tough stomachs. Green Dinos are the only type of Dino that is able to walk on two legs. This frees up their front two legs, which they use to catch and eat fish.

Simone's Green Thang was a most curious find. A black hatchling named 'Simone' found the strangely colored egg, and brought it home to hoard. She was so surprised whenher pretty toy turned into a small green thing!

Because she spoke with a slight twang, Simone always called him her 'green thang', as opposed to her 'green thing', and the name stuck. When Simone left the cave (lured away by a wild male, they say), they named her pet after her favorite thing to call him.

Green Thang has become the pet of the entire cave, and the only two who dislike him are Duchess Lasher- with her infamously sharp tongue- and the irascible Lady Kendra, who doesn't like anyone at all. Even the dragons who don't speak English like him.

He sleeps near Melanie Angelei, who took him in after Simone left.
