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.

Bastian never plays by the rules. His breed is famous for burrowing themselves and then staying stuck in one place. Bastian has continued to dig and burrow ever since he grew up and now lives in a vast network of tunnels with various places that allow him to stretch out his dragon grass and catch prey. Vines are famous for killing the plants around their clearings in their quest for nutrition. He is very aware of the ecological consequences and always keeps a careful schedule between his feeding holes so that plants have a chance to recuperate. Dark Green dragons are notoriously nasty by nature. Bastian, on the other hand, makes it very clear that he is evil by choice.
