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.

As an egg he decided the fate of his future mate and queen, Lady Wolfbane, when she was unable to resist sinking her fangs into his shell, changing him forever. She was forced from her Clan, and took the egg with her. He was born of her desire for companionship, for someone who understood her. As he grew, their relationship went beyond that of mere companions, and he chose to champion her, to become her mate and consort. He would do anything to please her, and is surprisingly more gentle than others of his breed, having been born of a simple desire to belong, rather than blood lust and anger.
