"Green queen" was the name given to the Queen dragons that hatched from green dragon clutches on the Far Western Continent late in the Second Interval. Laspanth was the first green queen.
Description[]
Though green dragons were typically infertile, their large numbers were part of a plan to repopulate the dragons following a plague in the Second Interval. Green dragons were kept away from firestone, and would lay clutches. In certain clutches, gold queen eggs appeared and were found to have enhanced psychic abilities. These queens could bond with their riders prior to hatching, and could alert others of dangers to the clutch. It was theorized that this ability was meant to help the clutch hatch, as greens were not as strong mothers as golds. The presence of green queens also gave evidence to a theory that green and blue dragons were the original colors of dragonets, the precursor of fire lizards and dragons, and that brown, bronze, and queens developed later.
