Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Kalda is Vanja's mate and adoptive mother to all Cireth's frozen hatchlings. She finds Vanja very odd sometimes but loves him despite his eccentricities. Together they plan to adopt every hatchling Cireth freezes. Kalda is a fierce, vicious huntress and is generally distrusted and avoided by Cireth's dragon pack. She doesn't mind this as she is happy to stick to interacting with her family and the other Vampires. She wants to bite and turn as many eggs as possible to create her own huge Vampire clan.
