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.

No one, not the bravest of hatchlings, nor even the most brainless of Zombies dare to come to close to Verdei lest they catch him in a bad mood. Which is more often than not, as every day seems to be an off day for Verdei. Some little detail is always missing to throw him off and leave him mean and nasty for the rest of the day. He hates everything and everyone. Only one thing manages to calm him: the small, wild-looking garden next to the cave's entrance.

Once upon a time brightly colored flowers grew in neat rows, a welcoming sight to all who saw it. But the dragon who tended it left long ago, leaving bitter snarls of angry vines to ruin their careful paw-work. Verdei finds this terrible disaster to be quite beautiful and will spend hours staring at it. He longs to churn his paws through the earth surrounding it to restore its order, but unfortunately cannot get to close or else he would kill what little life still survives there.
