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.

Lady Krystyna—Krissi to her friends—refuses to let unlife get to her. She's a bubbly, bright girl who likes nothing more than getting a manicure and going out on the town. She's a talented artist and an exuberant socialite and she refuses to let any of the "I vant to drink your blooood!" brigade get her down when they take her to task over not being more intimidating. Krissi has more personality than all of them put together, and that, at least, is something no-one's likely to argue with her over.
