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.

Kalashnikov is truly a cunning individual, his pleasant demeanor and smile hardly covering the fact that he is a member of the undead. He seems content with that status, however, and cannot remember a time before his transformation. He seems content with most everything, frankly, even the rather indiscreet frowns the other dragons give him. He'll just respond with a polite smile, an affirming nod. Despite being so cordial, one cannot help but sense a slight hint of guile and deceit present in his voice. Maybe it's just his accent. Looking past his obvious vampire origins, Kalashnikov appears as a very relaxed, pleasant-mannered individual. Due to his affliction with the sunlight, he spends most of his time inside the cave, watching the others with an unsettling gaze, or engaging in conversation with any who will listen. Presently, Kalashnikov has only bitten one egg, which he claims was a fleeting moment of weakness. He asserts that he has no urge to harm any of his "fellow brethren."
