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.

The Sampire is a darkly handsome male dragon who loves to play court to lady dragons.  He enjoys the flirting and teasing more than anything else, except eggs.  He will sweet-talk his way into the cave of an unsuspecting lady dragon with praise for her eyes, scales and anything else he can think of.  Once in the cave he will seek some excuse for the lady dragon to leave for a few minutes, then as soon as he is alone, he will bite any eggs she happens to have, then will flee the scene with a full belly before she returns.
