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.

The unfortunately named Onyon has high hopes of staring in his own play some day. His play is envisioned as a spectacular display of drama, mystery,horror, and comedy, all rolled into one performance. Onyon describes himself in the play as a "supernatural, horrifying and powerful entity fallen from the heavens and descended from the gods' uncooked vegetables".  He spends most of his time happily jotting down notes and potential dialog on bits of parchment found around the cave. How he learned to read and write is baffling indeed. All the other dragons, except little Zeph'r, frown upon this "un-dragon-like" hobby. Zeph'r the pygmy, with his habit of sticking his head into anything, is covered in ink stains from his encounters with the writing dragon. Onyon, though not quick to bite, is quick to jab someone with an ink loaded  quill.
