Dragon, Green

Green Dragon
Green dragons are known for their emerald green scales and large, fin-like crest which stretches from the crown of their heads down their backs. They usually smell of chlorine gas, their primary breath weapon. They also possess very slender tongues and will eat any animal they come across within their territory. However, they are not above eating humanoid creatures, and they consider elves and gnomes to be delicacies.

These creatures can mainly be found in the zheradanese swamps. They are highly territorial and view any intrusion into their domain as a personal affront. They revel in combat and, therefore, are quick to action rather than words.

When a female green lays her clutch of eggs, she will keep them within a solution of acid or bury them in leaves moistened with rainwater. Both male and female parent stay close to their eggs when incubating, and care for their young after birth. After hatching, the young dragons look nearly black in color. However, their scales slowly lighten to the emerald green color as they age. They typically stay with their parents until they reach the age of 100, when they fully mature.

Green dragons are highly adept at magic and are agile flyers. They usually glide beneath the forest canopy and are adept at maneuvering among trees.
