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.

Polistra is as diligent a guardian as her nest-sister, Marindala, having taken it upon herself to be the one who watches the nest's hatchlings. With her breed's reputation for ferocity and voracious appetite, few who recognize her floral appendages are willing to come close enough to bother the young dragons who cavort among the restless tendrils. She is adept at keeping a vine wrapped around one of the energetic younglings, much like a leash, preventing them from getting into -too- much trouble. Anyone (or anything) that doesn't belong in the area, however, will quickly find themselves losing a limb—if not a life—if they move within reach.
