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.

Raeira is very quiet and reserved. She often lurks at the back, feeling unwanted. She sometimes wonders why her owner rescued her egg from the abandoned pile in the first place. It is a pity; as a hatchling, Raeira was quite fearless and proud. One could say that this is the absent-minded Ohooria's fault. The forgetful Ochredrake once made the mistake of chirping, "Why doesn't that Zombie-thing just go back where it came from". Now Raeira hides in the shadows, hardly daring to show her face. Even her owner sometimes forgets she is there. But she secretly does good deeds, bound and determined to prove the others wrong, that she is a loyal friend, despite her breed's reputation and smell (cough) er... perfume.
