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.

Emerylf is the protector, and beta male, of his cave. He is the oldest of the dragons here, but, being a dark green dragon, is incapable of using high-powered magic and thus cannot be an effective alpha. Like most dark green dragons, he lives underground much of the time and required the nutrients the ground supplies him with. His vines are particularly vicious and are the fear of any who dare to mess with any of the members, especially the females, of his cave.<br/>Large snapping flytraps are present on almost all of Emerlyf's plentiful vines. He truly is one of the most powerful of the dark green dragons and is not afraid to use his physical strength to protect himself and his cave. However, he is rather friendly towards young dragons, particularly his own children. The young ones enjoy smelling the roses that infrequently grow on his vines and enjoying his presence.
