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.

Rashed Skae cultivates a sophisticated demeanor, which only serves to hide his savagery from other dragons.  He constantly thirsts for blood, and any creature he manages to convince into being alone with him is likely to be found drained.  After several such deaths he was driven out of his birth-lair.  It took ten years of travel to reach a new, unsuspecting lair.  Now that he has insinuated himself into their group he has been very careful to avoid suspicion by hunting outside of the clan.  Rashed has long-reaching goals, and has begun the slow process of converting his new lair-mates into creatures like himself.
