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.

Dark Green Dragons usually stay in one place once they hatch, preferring to curl up in their mother's burrows until they are old enough to find their own. Wandering Vine, however is an exception. Hatching to find himself abandoned, he took to his shaky legs and began to search. After quite a ways he found a nest with a single white egg- the first he had seen since he had left his own empty clutch.  In a display of behavior much unlike the fellows of his breed, he stayed with the egg, keeping the unknown dragonet inside warm while beginning to dig his permanent burrow.

Even now, with the dragonet in question grown and the nest filling with hatchlings and eggs, Wandering Vine sits watch, loyally guarding the delicate female and the only home where his roots are free to spread.
