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.

They say that power and grace come from the soul within, but when the soul is gone, only death and decay can be present around the unfortunate lifeless being. Lady Van Bathory is the true meaning of that, and not just that, but she has embraced and even enjoys her vampiric nature, to the point that even other members of the family consider it a taboo to mention her name.

Stories and gossip always goes around the dragons, telling about unfortunate incidents of dead dragons and cracked open eggs. Trails of blood and corpses always seem to lead themselves to her in someway or another. She seems to have a twisted nature of enjoying watching her victims' life slip away as she drains their essence. She calls it a poetic tragedy. A type of art that every vampire-dragon should know. The different ways to extract life, with different ways to paint the crime scene.

The Countess is very aware of the situation, and her intentions on how to handle this untamed beast is yet unknown.
