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.

Merigelde was in the valley long before her master found her.  She appeared as a tiny flower sticking out of the ground above a cave inhabited by a very old green dragon.  He didn't know she was up there but when the rains came heavy she would come out of the ground more and stretch herself beyond the cave entrance to try and shield him from the rain a bit.  Merigelde never comes out of the ground unless its an emergency.  She is generally very tranquil and peaceful but don't let that fool you. She is very capable of defending herself.
