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.

Like the other Vine Dragons that grew up in the Rainbow Caverns, Black Nightshade found his own space far from the cavern. He takes great pride in being the largest of the Vines from the Rainbow Caverns. He is also the most aggressive of the Vines from the cavern. Even Little -not- Red Hen is unable to approach him to clean pests from his vines. Of course, the presence of these small irritations does nothing to improve an already hostile temperament.
