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.

Born of a Black father and a Ribbon Dancer mother, Tall Dark and Vampire is looking for vengeance on the family that failed to protect him from the attack of his sire. He walks a thin line in the weyr of Hellish Katrina Undead, attempting to show whatever mercy possible to those who remind him of his very young egg days, protecting them in the midst of the infernally vicious behavior of his weyr-mates. Despite his unusual compassion and care for his victims, he is always searching for the parents that abandoned him to this cruel fate, with every intention to make them pay miserably for the eternal pain he suffers.
