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.

Carrhida is the leader of the Fuleothyes and a very smart leader at that. He knows how to use every warrior he has to aid him, from the large Opyte (a Stone dragon) to the tiny Alyda (a Dark Myst pygmy). He personally scans all the eggs gifted to his clan by Julius and sometimes will pick an egg to bite. He refuses to sire a son this way, saying he will be the only male to lead the Fuleothyes.

He has his own ideals of controlled chaos, saying that if the peace is not disrupted every so often, civilization will never move forward and gain strength. He seems very watchful, and often consults Euneira, the elderly Vine dragon, before taking action.

Carrhida has said that being a leader means being there every second, and only stepping back to observe what's going on to analyze the best action to take. His weakness is that he often disrupts the peace so much that his clan often cannot rest long enough to create, and it has been said it will be his defeat if one can use it against him.
