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.

It was said that Mistress Vampiress once had a son, even though vampire dragons are unable to breed. She had found a little vampire hatchling and she decided to take care of it. It was named Little Tooth. One day when she was teaching Little Tooth how to bite other dragon eggs to turn them into vampires, another dragon, apparently Little Tooth's real mother, came and fought Mistress Vampiress. She fought as hard as she could to protect Little Tooth from being taken away, but it was just too complicated; she lost the battle and Little Tooth. Ever since then she has never bitten another dragon egg and even when attempting to she fails, because she just couldn't bear seeing another Vampire Hatching in fear it would die or be abandoned, just like Little Tooth was.
