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.

Murder's Complexx Symphony earned his title for two reasons. First is that in order for him to spawn young he must sneak about, killing the offspring of hundreds of other dragons with his venomous bite. Second for the complex melody he sings to soothe the dying hatchlings within the eggs he sinks his fangs into, lulling them into a sense of false peace as their sweet, unknowing eyes close for the last time to the land of the living.

Upon the death of the hatchlings, Symphony's song takes on the true form of his dark breed, becoming more sinister and vile, speeding the undead venom's course through the veins of his new young. Once the deed is complete, his song climaxes, bringing to an end the life of one and beginning that of another.
