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.

Vam is... a pretty bad example of a vampire. Bloodred wings... check. Runic markings... check. Big, pointy teeth... check. Emo tendencies... check. Sadistic attitude... Uh, Vam lost that one somewhere. Of all the things to have a phobia of, Vam nearly keels over faint at the sight of blood. He hates hurting anything, and he's beyond squeamish—rumor has it that when he feeds, he does so with his eyes tightly shut. Nobody in the clan is exactly sure what type of dragon he was before his egg was bitten, but the most popular guess is that he was either a white or a mint.
