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.

Studying the plants that adorn a Vine dragon's back has never been easy, but it has sometimes been rewarding. After much observation and a few daringly obtained samples, herbalists have come to a surprising conclusion about this female's flowers; when crushed and mixed with water, they make a most potent medicine, one that's proven capable of driving off all but the most vicious of diseases. While this discovery is a promising one, the fact remains that getting the flowers is in itself a life-threatening venture, for the dragon is every bit as snappish as the rest of her breed and would much rather devour visitors than share her plant with them.
