Summary
Brachy are a species of Wood Element dragons from Puzzle and Dragons. They're a common and well known primeval species of dragons, having existed for over 200 million years, and are one of the species offered to the player as their starter dragon in-game. The grassy crest on their head can reflect their emotions, being green when it is happy but wilting when saddened.
Brachys have a weaker, pre-evolved form that resembles a plush toy of themselves, the Brachy-bean, and can evolve into a more powerful form as Brachio, which in turn can evolve into the even more powerful Brachys and then into Flowerdragon Brachys.
Flowerdragon Brachys can then Ultimate Evolve into one of four possible monsters, Flowerdragon Gaia Brachys which is known for the flower on its head and the relaxing scent it gives off, Wild Flowerdragon, Howling Brachys a more rugged variant of the species that controls the Fire Element as well as the Wood Element, Pixel Flowerdragon Brachys which is a Pixel Evolution of the original Flowerdragon Brachys form, and Flowerdragon King Brachys which greatly resembles Flowerdragon Brachys but is much more powerful
