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 Osiris was one of the first vampires to enter the clan. Although during the day no dragon sees him outside, during the night no dragon sees him in his abode. It is rumored that before he came into the clan, any dragon that tried to follow him during the night would mysteriously disappear forever without a trace. After he came into the clan, however, he took an oath of loyalty to prove his sincerity. He promised to never feed on any of the clan, only those who are unfortunate to cross his path at night. He never allows anyone into his home, except for one dragon whose life he saved. Without her, he knows their lives would be very different.
