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.

As an egg this dragon was held in high expectations of his parents and their keeper. As first-generation vines they had no chance of holding a rare, recessive trait that made the otherwise common dragons very desirable. However, their child would have a chance at becoming one such rare dragon. They cared for it better than most other parents treat their eggs, as they hoped that their child would become one of their keeper's most beloved pets. With much anticipation they waited for their child to hatch, when the moment of truth would be upon them and their dreams either realized or crushed. As one can tell, he hatched as a regular vine. His parents were outraged and abandoned him immediately. His keeper, disappointed that yet another dragon of his wasn't of the rarer type, tied him to a tree far away, to die. Time passed, and he eventually was taken in by a young keeper who cared naught about rarity or power, but the question always lingered in his mind: why his coloring is important.
