A chromatic dragon. See the Dragon overview and its kin: White, Black, Green, Blue, Red. Of all the colours, the green is the one most likely to smile at you. Trust that smile least of all. — Wren

The Harpers' Read

The green is the schemer of dragonkind — vain, manipulative, and patient, it would sooner ensnare a company in a bargain than meet it claw to claw. Its breath is a cloud of killing poison, and poison does nothing to it in return, so spare yourself the venom and the gas. Treat its words as the more dangerous weapon: a green will lie, flatter, and turn allies against one another. Strike for the throat before it can talk, and never enter a forest it calls home on its terms.

Encounters of Record

The company's dealings with greens have been crooked rather than bloody. At Thundertree they befriended the adult green Venomfang rather than fight it (Session 8) — a bargain that still shadows the Rockseeker ventures. Later, tracking the cult's caravan, they killed a green dragon whelp (Session 39). The kind's full menace in open battle is still untested.
