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.

Alkan Bloodfang was raised by the only vampire to face Kalazor and live, and dreams of one day fighting the legendary guardian himself.  He's ruthless and bloodthirsty, and a very dangerous ally, often turning on those he's supposed to protect for the sake of a good meal.  Alkan Bloodfang will bite eggs for the sake of increasing the vampire population, but is so opposed to having to share the glory for someday defeating Kalazor that he leaves the eggs where he found them, where they are usually rejected by the parents.
