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.

Akuji Moon lives deep in the dark recesses of the Moon Caves he rarely emerges and never emerges in the day. He is one of two dragons whom inspire fear and stories among the others in the Moon Caves. He rarely feeds at home as those living in the Moon Caves know to be very careful going out after sun down. Most residents simply stay inside their rooms. Akuji shares and odd sort of friendship with Neena though she comes out even more rarely than he does.
