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.

Staeteren (in ancient draconic, his name means "wait forever in the earth") is surprisingly nonviolent for a vine dragon.  Although he is by no means peaceful, Staeteren will calculate and contemplate before acting, instead of utilizing the chaotic and unpredictable attacks of his ancestors.  Staeteren is fascinated by the concept of innocence, as it is nearly unfathomable to him.

     Staeteren decided to side with the mint royalty in the war.  Unlike his grandfather, Lacuevir, Staeteren did this not only because his is wingless, but because he wants a chance to study mints up close, as they are one of the few breeds that possess absolutely no malice.
