Green Dragons are also sometimes called “earth” dragons. They usually live deep within caves, and have power over the earth. They are capable of launching boulders at high speeds, and can cause earthquakes by slamming down onto the ground.

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.

Shik'ri is a rather surprising female for her breed of dragon. While she can be just as aggressive as her boulder-heaving kinsmen, she is a very submissive creature by nature. With all of her rumbling, roaring and growling at those things that irritate her, it's almost hard to imagine her as shy or timid. She would much rather spend her time playing earthen games with her young one, yet her pride insists she make a show of letting everyone know she's far from helpless. Shik'ri worries about this so much that the others in her clan had to study her for quite some time before they realized she was more than a moody recluse. When there is trouble she follows orders quickly and quietly, mirroring her behavior while her mate is around. She's grown to fully depend upon him, though even he isn't exempt from her occasional snarl. It's important to her that nobody mistakes her obedience for weakness, as she is indeed far from helpless.
