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.

Shindor is an aggresive, territorial dragon. He knows he mustn't attack the dragons of his clan, but that doesn't stop him from threatening them if they get too close. If something that isn't a dragon or a human approaches him, it becomes his meal. If it's a dragon who isn't part of his clan or his human, that outcome only happens half of the time. Natsura had to tell him to live near Amind, to give the hatchlings more danger-free space. At first, Shindor refused, but in the end he ended up obeying the alfa female. Luckily, he and Amind respected each other, since they're both vine dragons. Passing dragons can sometimes see the red and yellow flowers close by, meaning the two burrowed dragons are having a chat or sharing a meal. Of course, that also means the danger of passing by has doubled.
