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.

Roselle is the domina, or queen, of her growing coterie of vampires. As can be imagined of a rather powerful vampire dragon with many followers, she certainly isn't the nicest of dragons. A typical day for her consists of sleeping until sunset, then rising with her coterie to feed on some unsuspecting dragons, gruesomely slaughtering any resistors, and then flying off to maybe raze a couple of human villages for amusement and to steal any jewelry they might have, as Roselle quite likes to decorate herself with hundreds of shiny gemstones. The other vampires think all the rubies and diamonds look rather gaudy, but dare not say anything for fear of being left outside to catch on fire and turn to dust as the sun rises.
