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.

Dark Lady Onyx is a creature of envy. She believes that she is meant to lead the family, not Lady Bella Notte. She tried once to oust the current alpha female. It was a disaster. The black dragon gave Lady Onyx a trashing she would never forget. As she lay there, her life in Bella Notta's jaws, she swore to her and before the rest of the family to never challenge the matriarch again. So far she has kept her promise, but still she dreams of the day that she will rule the family.
