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.

Turpentine Garden is quite unique and different from the others. She has inherited a turpentine smell from her ancestors, which caused her much grief as it made her prey avoid her. In fact, she had to be fed by her clan until one day she discovered a way to use this smell—she compressed it into little sacs which she stores all around the exposed part of her body. Now, whenever prey comes near, she 'sprays' them with this extremely compressed, noxious odor, which often causes them to keel over on the spot. If they don't, however, it at least blinds and stuns them, and she can use her strangling vines to finish the job. Then, she digs in and enjoys the meal, one of many that she has caught for herself using her new method.
