A Green Dragon Wyrmling in Dungeons & Dragons is a young green dragon, representing the earliest stage of a green dragon’s life. Green dragons are known for their cunning and malevolent nature, often inhabiting dense forests where their verdant scales blend seamlessly with the foliage. As wyrmlings, they are smaller and less powerful than their adult counterparts but already show signs of the distinctive traits that define green dragons throughout their lives.

Green dragons are notorious for their manipulation and territorial aggression. Even as wyrmlings, they exhibit a keen intelligence and a natural tendency toward trickery and deception. They use their surroundings to their advantage, employing ambush tactics and luring prey into traps. These young dragons possess a poisonous breath weapon, which is a signature attack that deals acid damage in a cone-shaped area, capable of corroding flesh and armor alike. This breath attack, although less potent than that of an adult green dragon, is still deadly for adventurers who encounter them unexpectedly.

Physically, green dragon wyrmlings have glossy emerald scales, sharp claws, and piercing eyes that reflect their cunning mind. Their wings, though smaller and less powerful than those of mature dragons, allow them short bursts of flight. Their size is significantly smaller compared to adult dragons, making them quicker and more agile in their environment. Despite their smaller stature, wyrmlings are fiercely protective of their lairs, which are usually hidden in forested areas filled with traps and natural hazards.

Green dragons, including wyrmlings, are highly territorial. A wyrmling’s lair might be a small cave or a hollow in the trees where it can retreat and hide. They tend to hoard treasure, although at this early stage, their hoards are modest compared to older dragons. Their personality tends to be arrogant and haughty, and they may attempt to bargain or intimidate intruders rather than immediately resorting to violence.

In game terms, green dragon wyrmlings provide a challenging encounter for low-level adventurers, combining physical combat prowess with the use of their acid breath and clever tactics. They are a quintessential example of how Dungeons & Dragons presents dragons as complex creatures with both formidable powers and intriguing personalities, even in their youngest forms.
