Spotted Greenwings are relatively small nocturnal dragons. Easily recognizable by the fleshy appendages growing off of their head and rump, they are most commonly seen in forests at night, leaping and soaring from tree to tree. While generally social, spotted greenwings are very quiet and rarely make any sort of vocalization. Their bodies are unusually warm to the touch, though they are unable to breathe fire. Greenwings are voracious feeders and will consume nearly any living thing that they can fit in their mouths.

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.

Vriska is very spiteful and loves to manipulate the other dragons. Fortunately, her tamer isn't so easily drawn under her 'web' of lies and knows all about Vriska's little tricks. Vriska antagonizes Tavros Nitram all the time, but she also seems to care about him greatly, bringing him food because of his disability. After she feeds him though, she'll usually poke at his wings and snicker, as though she is laughing at the fact that he can't fly anymore. It's a complicated relationship, but Tavros seems to be the only dragon that Vriska won't steal from.
