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.

Frances is one of the many dragons rescued and nurtured by the wide ranging clan of humans founded by AnselaJonla. Her egg was found in the jungle and taken to a hatchery to be raised.

Once she matured, she found her lifemate, a Pillow dragon, among the other AnselaJonla dragons. In the tradition of the flock, both dragons took the same name, Jadim, to pass down to their offspring.

Frances is violent, murderous and staunchly carnivorous, and to enter her glade is to court death. No surprise there, given her species. What is surprising is her choice of lifemate, the Pillow dragon named Brian.

The fact is that she just can't kill him. She tried, the first time he wandered into her range, but his thick fur is so dense it protects him from her deadly vines.

The first time Brian arrived back in the glade with a territorial and angry Brute in pursuit, she was surprised. Then it happened again, and again. He's her bait, her lure, her food-finder, and they both eat well for it.
