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.

On the farthest edge of the Forest section of the Gleaming clan's homeland EarthSoul Gleaming and her daughter reside. They are the Forest areas first line of defense. Their deadly vines make most intruders think twice about entering with ill intentions. But if an intruder does manage to get through, they use their influence over nature to alert ForestHeart and ForestSong Gleaming that a threat is approaching and they sound the alarm to the rest of the clan.
