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.

Some vampires have darkly polite dispositions, speaking with Victorian elegance to their quaking prey before they drain its life. Others have personalities dominated by cruelty, while still others have more regular natures, despite what they have become. But this dragon, quite simply, lacks any disposition at all. He has never been heard to speak or make any other sound, but merely mindlessly pursues his prey; the only personal trait he exhibits is a tendency to play with his victims for a while before the kill, but if cats are considered, that might just be as instinctive as his hunting.
