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.

The enemy of one's enemy is sometimes just as dangerous. Urix Darkstar tries to slay vampire dragons like Alkan Bloodfang and Hadek Nightbane, but only so that he can absorb the best and brightest of their followers into his pack. He'll align himself with anyone who will help, but never thinks of them as anything more than a food source to be preserved. As for eggs, he'll bite anything he can find.
