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.

It has become something of a rare sight to see a Dark Green dragon within the castle. The ones who are known by the others have only been seen a few times; the Castle Master has them stay out in the forest, harming (and typically devouring) any beast that trespasses inside. Stragiz is one of few of his kind to stay close to the castle, close enough that his vines can easily reach the castle gates if need be.

He's a terrible sight to see at night; an entire circle completely void of plant life, terrific fly traps seeming to snap at them, and the head of a ferocious dragon. The image itself usually sends the poor wanderer fleeing in the opposite direction. That is, if they can escape the vines.
