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.

While it may seem like Mr Chompy has a silly name, it truly isn't his fault. He was named by a half-wit hatchling that followed him around everywhere. One day he was so annoyed that he stopped in his tracks and snapped, spit, and chomped at the baby dragon. The little one laughed hysterically and dubbed him Mr Chompy from then on out. Despite his initial distaste for the name, he came to grudgingly answer to it and later even enjoy having herds of hatchlings chasing after him, gibbering at the "grumpy old Mr Chompy."
