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.

The terror of the cave, this dragon strikes fear into the heart of every dragon; each living in fear that one day he will be the victim of this fearsome member of the undead. The only ones who seem unaffected by this are the resident zombie dragon (who not only cares about nothing, but has no blood either), and the stone dragon, the vampire having broken a tooth on him once. The stone dragon had one of the more artistic dragons in the cave craft the piece of fang into a necklace, which he wears around his neck as a trophy (and not least to taunt the vampire).
