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.

His birth name Carcaroth means 'Red Maw', because when he hatched, he snarled and growled towards the other dragons, and his throat was red as blood. Anfauglir means 'The Jaws of Thirst', he earned that name when he bit and tried to suck the blood out of one of the dragons guarding the hatchlings.  

At day, he dwells underground with his mate to avoid the burning sun. But he comes forth at night, spreading terror amongst the creatures of the forest. He does not threaten the other dragons, and when his thirst is quenched, he can sit and have long conversations with some of them. He knows that if he threatens them, they can easily kill him by dragging him out in the sunlight while he is weak. So for now, it is safer for him to convince them that he is no threat to them.
