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.

Chinese Water Torture is the top General in Countess Renata Necaz's Anti-Twilight Vampire Dragon Army. She was turned by The Countess outside of a play showing where Chinese and a few friends were picketing the new play "Vampires Suck". Che, as she is called by few close friends, has had a history of problems, trying several times to drown female rivals in toilets who spoke out against "Team Edward" and "Twilight" in general. Now swayed by The Countess and seeing the error of her ways, she is firmly on the side of "Non-Sparkly Vampires!"
