Water Breathing (ex) - The creature can breathe under water.
Natural Connection (ex) - This creature can use Stealth to hide in any sort of natural terrain, even if the terrain does not grant cover or concealment. It also does not leave a trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked unless it chooses. The creature can also move through any foliage at full speed without impairment.

Cleave (ex) - As a standard action, the Green Dragon (Very Old) can make a single attack with a melee weapon at its highest attack bonus. If it hits, it deals damage normally and can make another attack against a foe adjacent to the first. The Green Dragon (Very Old) may continue making as many attacks as possible provided opponents are adjacent and in range. Using cleave, causes the creature to take a -2 penalty to AC until its next turn.
Frightful Presence (Free)(ex, Mental, Fear) - As a free action, this creature can demonstrate its frightful presence (usually through a roar or other effect). Opponents who witness this gain level 3 fear for 5d6 rounds. Opponents who succeed on a save are immune to this effect for 24 hours. If the target loses sight of the creature, it gets a new save each round.
Crush (ex) - This dragon can land on foes as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A crush attack affects as many creatures as fit in the dragon's space. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Dex save or take bludgeoning damage and become grappled (level 2). Crush attacks deal damage equal to the maximum melee attack the dragon can make. Grappled targets automatically take this damage again at the beginning of their turns for as long as they remain grappled.
Tail Sweep (ex) - As a standard action, this dragon can sweep multiple targets with its tail. The sweep affects a half-circle with a radius of 30 feet. Creatures within the swept area are affected if they are four or more size categories smaller than the dragon. The sweep deals as much damage to all creatures in range as the tail slap normally does to a single target, though targets can make a Dex save to halve this damage.

Scales the color of emeralds armor this ferocious dragon. A single sharp horn protrudes from the end of its toothy snout.
Green dragons dwell in the ancient forests of the world, prowling under towering canopies in search of prey. Of all the chromatic dragons, green dragons are perhaps the easiest to deal with diplomatically.
