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.

Raised by haughty vine dragons, Svai was taught to respect and care for vegetation lovingly, but only for the most intricate and "sophisticated" flowers. Svai had always gone out in the daylight to try and garden the colorful flowers, but each time he was hurt by the harsh sun. He had all but given up hope for his green thumb when he noticed that there were flowers that flourished at night and this discovery completely turned his life around. Svai gave up on the delicate, day-blooming flowers and instead started to tend to night-blooming flowers and cultivate weeds. The night-bloomers and weeds reflected the savage vampire better than the overly refined blossoms, he felt.  Now the fragrant Evening Primrose and the luminous Moonflowers grace his weed-covered, but still magnificent, night gardens.
