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.

Alique is a very fiery female dragon, with a headstrong and determined personality. Once she chooses a course of action, it is nearly impossible to dissuade her from it; in making her decisions she usually means well, but she does have a volatile temper that flares easily and an instinctive desire to attack any unfamiliar moving creature with her vines. These aspects of her personality make it difficult for her to get along with most other dragons, but she does seem to somehow bond with her comparatively calmer and more level-headed mate, Clocks. When she's not with Clocks, Alique can usually be found outside her cave amusing herself by exercising the powers of her vines to capture, eat, or simply "play" with passing creatures. She has her maternal moments as well, when she will retreat deep into her cave to care for her unborn and newborn dragon children.
