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.

Moxian works for the Vampire Science Foundation, blissfully unaware of the dragon population's knowledge that the organization uses scare tactics, badly-sourced information, and outright lies to gain publicity. He'll cheerfully spout off their latest headlines to any dragon that will listen (which is nobody), insist that their bimonthly notices contain only the latest and truest scientific breakthroughs and donates a great deal of his treasure to their coffers every year. He wonders why no one asks his opinion anymore.
