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.

Whitescarlet used to think that she was beautiful until one day Shonest told her that she wasn't. After that day no one ever saw her except for in the shadows. It is said that if anybody runs into Whitescarlet that she will drag them back to her cave and keep them captive as her personal servant. The younger dragons play games and dare each other to go in to the shadows over night, and if they are still there in the morning their friends congratulate them, and they get to do what they want for the day.
