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.

Although she is a Vampire, Queen of the Darned is the cave's resident morality officer.  She is highly intolerant of curse words and always replaces the offensive word with a similar sounding one, and is sure to correct the language of those around her as well.  She has no patience for shenanigans and will often chase the rambunctious hatchlings out.  Her dour personality has made her the butt of many jokes and she is often mocked.  When she overhears the taunts, she simply purses her scaly lips, mutters something about 'kids on the lawn' and shambles off.
