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.

Her Paleness Aru'ak is obsessed with vivid colours, finding her own discolouration unfortunate. Occasionally, she can be seen with bright purple and blue markings decorating her forelimbs, an homage to her lineage of lively colours. She's theorised that it might even be best if she took this on as a permanent habit, expanding it to the rest of her body, as the deep purples and blues might provide much better camouflage for her hunt after nightfall than her light skin.
