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.

Vampiress Celeste is a Grave Watcher in Wingclan. When the death of a hatchling occurs, or an egg is accidentally smashed by one of the Egg Guardians, they take the dead to her. She would then dig a resting place for the deceased, and watch the graves, often setting flowers over them. For a Vampire dragon, she is very gentle and unusually quiet. This may be because of her job, or because she was this way.
