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.

Hasnika is the brother and friend of Lasunka. As he hatched, there was a war going on. He witnessed death many times. Hasnika wasn't afraid, however. He had to fight other hatchlings and killed most of them. Right after he hatched, he learned to kill and got his taste for blood. Hasnika is now a five hundred, twenty-four year old dragon now. As a matured hatchling, Hasnika found his attraction to darkness. Because of his history and behavior, Hasnika is one of the most deadly in his clan. He taught his sister Lasunka hunting and other behaviors.
