Dark Green Dragon

Vine dragons are one of the original dragons in the cave. Vine dragons are one of only a few species (Blacks and Sweetlings are others) with an alternate or 'alt' form of their sprite. It used to be possible to know if a Vine would hatch an alt from the egg sprite; this is no longer possible, alt form now only becoming visible after hatching. However, there is a theory that breeding a vine dragon with a rare (such as a gold, silver, or one of the three legendary dragons) will slightly increase the chances of the egg being alternate. This has not been proven.

Vine dragons are considered common and currently have no breed specific action. On scrolls where dragons are organized by species they are alphabetized under their real name of dark green dragon rather than "vine dragon".

Official Dragon Description
Adult:

"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."

Matured Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon... except for the tangle of dangerous-looking vines surrounding it... Now there are even more vines. Perhaps something is happening?"

Hatchling:
