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.

It is not well known why Count Vincent saved the egg that Count Casanova bit with the intent to kill it; it is even less known if Vincent regrets this decision or not. Count Veritas is perhaps the absolute opposite of what one would expect of a Montague, or even a Vampire for that matter. Jovial and playful, Veritas loves nothing more than to find a game to play with other dragons. He feels the pain of other dragons acutely and will do whatever he can to try to cheer them up or care for their wounds if the pain is physical.

This unrefined, naive, and affectionate behavior is the cause of much bewilderment and abhorrence from his clan brothers, as being a Vampire itself does for other dragons. This disgust never seems to bother Veritas as he appears to be perpetually happy and takes other dragons' scorn as a joke and will laugh along with them, even at his own expense. His favorite pastime is finding some way to make Vincent laugh or even just smile.
