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.

Orphan Boy has no proper name because he lost his parents in the great Halloween massacre of '13, while he was still very young. He was saved and raised by a group of other Vines, who would have given him a name, but around the same time he met a young Neotropical and Albino with a fate not unlike his own, who called themselves "Orphan Girl" and "Pale Orphan Girl", and he wanted a name like that too. As he considers himself a poor, lonely thing (despite his many living relatives caring for him), he craves attention. This means that he can get quite annoying but it also means he is usually less likely to eat any creatures that come too close, he prefers talking to them.
