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.

Joafirup, although technically a part of the cave, lives just outside the entrance burrowed under the ground, surrounded by a clearing of dead foliage. She is quite possibly the most vicious dragon in the cave and has been known to attack anything that so much as breathes to close to her underground home. Joafirup is no fool, however, and knows she needs the protection of the other dragons, so it has become a mutual understanding between all of the clan's dragons that Joafirup will not harm any of them as long as they stay away from her domain and protect her in times of danger. The older dragons often threaten the little ones with throwing them into Joafirup's clutches if they don't behave.
