Green dragons are master manipulators. They roam through forests, manipulating creatures to gain power and wealth with as little effort as possible.[3]
Description[]
Appearance[]
A green dragon is recognized by its curved jawline and the crest that begins near its eyes and continues down its spine, reaching full height just behind the skull. A green dragon has no external ears, but bears leathery spiked plates that run down the sides of its neck. A wyrmling green dragon's thin scales are a shade of green so dark as to appear nearly black. As a green dragon ages, its scales grow larger and lighter, turning shades of forest, emerald, and olive green to help it blend in with its wooded surroundings. Its wings have a dappled pattern, darker near the leading edges and lighter toward the trailing edges. A green dragon's legs are longer in relation to its body than with any other dragon, enabling it to easily pass over underbrush and forest debris when it walks. With its equally long neck, an older green dragon can peer over the tops of trees without rearing up.[3]
Abilities[]
- Multiattack: The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.[3]
- Poison Breath: The dragon exhales an poison blast.[3]
Known green dragons[]
- Raishan, the Diseased Deceiver: an ancient green dragon and a member of the Chroma Conclave.
- Tatterwing: a feared adult or ancient dragon of the Kirmont Valley, and the parent of a trio of young green dragon mercenaries of the Ashen Gorge:
Trivia[]
- While the amount of named green dragons in Exandria equals the amount of white dragons, most of the former are mentioned in books, while the latter were encountered by heroes of different campaigns.
- Green dragon scales are embedded in the Obsidian Flint Dragon Plate[6] worn by Arkhan, and are presumably responsible for endowing the wearer with resistance to poison damage.
