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.

Lil' Venom, one of the youngest vampire dragons in Natasha's Cave, is a quiet dragon in more than one way. He seldom spoke or squeaked as a hatchling, and even as an adult only speaks when he thinks is necessary. He has a vivid imagination, and always looks at himself as a fierce hunter, a spy in the night: one to be feared. He does a lot of hunting in his spare time, and he will sit for hours in one place, just waiting for the prey to get close enough for a surprise attack.

This annoys his less patient comrades greatly: the other adult Vampire Dragons in the cave prefer to simply fly down and snatch the prey, simple as that. Venom won't even consider making that much noise with his wings.
