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.

With Rune earning respect for vampire dragons, Noctoros did not have to go through a social exile like most vampiric dagons do. The Wenailians took note of Noctoros maturing with normal mannerisms, showing that a vampire's stalking, ruthless, and often cowardly behaviors are learned traits that exist for the sake of survival. Noctoros still can only be in the sun for an hour or two at a time, but plenty of dragons walking through the streets will intentionally shade the vampire with their wings to ensure the survival of a vampire as docile as the elite vampire, Rune.
