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.

Umsis's parents and siblings were killed the minute he was born by a Vampire. The Vampire didn't want to kill umsis, so he bit him and left. Umsis never knew what type of dragon he was before he was bitten but he got very angry and took out his rage on other dragons. He killed many dragons and bit only eggs he thought were worthy of being a Vampire, killing the rest. Umsis finally found the dragon who bit him. The Vampire told him how he killed his family and he was once a Royal Blue dragon. Umsis didn't want to hear any more of it and killed the Vampire. Umsis found a small village afterwards and completely destroyed it leaving no survivors. Umsis found a cave and lives in there. Anything living that comes in is killed instantly. Umsis only comes out every 31 days to bite an egg and to kill all the eggs direct relatives.
