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.

Dignya, first daughter of Diggory and Laanyanya, shares her name with a small flower native to the Americas.  She was kept and raised by her parents' keeper in the hopes of being a rare yellow-flowered green, but surprised everyone when she turned out normal.  It had previously been thought that the yellow-flowered were simply the female of her species... This is obviously not the case.

Having sought out her purple clutchmates upon maturation, Dignya was dismayed to find that one had never hatched and the other looked unlikely to survive to adulthood.  The green dragon checked every few hours in hope, but to no avail--her sister died young.  Dignya now awaits the hatching of her next sibling, another green from a clutch of one.  Perhaps this one will turn out to be the yellow-flowered rarity Lorraine hopes for, and Dignya will get to keep her sibling.
