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.

Drykkfelldur is a vicious vampire dragon. She used to kill every dragon she'd see. But one day a dragon stood up to her, that dragon was Kerikil. They fought for hours but Drykkfelldur was beaten. When Kerikil was about to strike her down he realized that even she was once a dragon. Kerikil and Drykkfelldur made a pact. Drykkfelldur could stay in the area if she only drained what she needed from abandoned eggs. If she'd ever break this pact, Kerikil will know where to find her.
