Green dragons claim old, dense forests and treat everything that lives there as their subjects. They are liars and schemers who prefer to bend intruders to their will with threats and false bargains, and their poison breath leaves glades of dead, yellowed undergrowth. Woodcutters avoid any part of the wood where birds fall silent.
