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.

Phil is as lazy as a dragon can get. He has dug the smallest, most shallow hole imaginable to bury himself and once a third of his body was covered he declared it was enough and had a lie down. He mostly feeds by killing the plants around him not because he doesn't like meat but because clover and grass are less difficult to catch than hares.

A lot of dragons have speculated that he probably descended from Pillows, but that's not true; he has a pure Vine ancestry and his laziness is all his own.
