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.

Rosa of Wyrmwood is one of "the four", the first four eggs who were brought into the deeps of that forest and left there on a small clearing in a nest of soft moss. Those four dragons are today the four leaders of Wyrmwood: Rosa, Ivyric, Violetta and Glasduine.

The other dragons of Wyrmwood respect Ivyric and his kind knowing that his dark and hidden way of live also is a good protector for the other dragons because many creatures who come into the woods and are trapped in Ivyrics vines could have harmed the others.
