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.

Rackallo is a reverse of what you'd expect of a vampire. Gentle and soft-spoken, he hates fighting, not just a strong dislike; red, hot hatred. He originated in Transylvania, where the residents kept trying to bring harm to this dragon, no matter how full of love and kindness he actually was. Rackallo finally could not stand the humans anymore and flew away, eventually finding himself over the sea and in the clan he's in now. However, Rackallo still had the problem of having to drink blood to stay alive. So his cunning leader found that once an animal was dried of moisture, the meat would not rot for a very long time. So now Rackallo is tasked with drying meat so it is easily stored for winter.
