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.

This is Ketsueki-Kyuban, or Blood-Sucker.

He is dead.

K-K never comes out in daylight, only hunting and playing at night. He is very good at suppressing his thirst, for his breed. All of the other dragons stay away from him- maybe they can sense something's wrong with him. He stays away from them, too. Most of the handlers avoid him out of fear-thus he never gets cleaned, and his den gives off this awful stench. The markings on Kesueki-Kyuban's sides oddly resemble runes- and sometimes look like their glowing. This happens especially after he...feeds. He has never bitten an egg, condemning it to death, (like him) but sometimes he can be spotted eying the newly captured eggs with this hungry look in his eye..
