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.

Mick St John never wanted to be a vampire...but of course he was given no choice in the matter. He simply woke fifty years ago to a scene of shattered fragments of his egg and the bloodstained fangs of Lady Coraline--the one responsible for his change. Faced with the figurative lemons life had given him, Mick began using his newfound abilities to investigate strange happenings in the cave. Over the years, he has resolved numerous mysteries and saved even more lives. As for his bloodthirst, Mick restricts himself to living on the blood of willing donors. He despises his vampiric nature, and wishes more than anything to exchange it for a normal life.
