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.

As a human walks through the forest, they come upon a dark shape looking into a puddle at its own reflection and...crying.  They soon realize that it is a male vampire and hurriedly back away.  Right as they are about to turn and run, they hear a voice in their head saying "Stop.  Please, don't go."  They eye the vampire warily.  This could be a trap designed to lure them closer, giving the dragon an easy meal.  But they stand their ground and listen to the vampire tell them his story telepathically.  He tells them that he wasn't always a vampire.  He believes that he was once a gray dragon.  He was bitten, then taken care of by a female vampire.  She now pressures him to bite eggs whenever he can.  He does, but with each bite, he is sad.  That egg could have been him, and its life is ruined forever.  He turns his back on the human as more  tears begin to leak from his eyes.  Quietly, the human leaves him to cry in peace.  There is nothing that can be done for him.
