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.

Sanguigna Principessa Dorkface is a distant and fallen daughter of the Dorkface clan. She is a particularly vicious Vampire who positively delights in sucking the life from any creature she can get her claws on. She takes particular joy in biting the offspring of other dragons and making them Vampires like herself. Sanguigna desperately wants to win the attention of Dolce Violoncello Melodio, a stoic dragon who rules the Vampire clan. She thinks his attempts to abstain from killing dragons merely fight what was meant to be. On several occasions she has goaded him into abandoning his resolve, but her efforts only serve to anger him and estrange him further.
