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.

This dragon's name took inspiration from a breeder whose bad temper is almost legendary. Rumors say that he routinely trashes his own cave whenever a breeding attempt doesn't give the desired result or two carefully selected mates decide they hate each other's guts, and that his favorite method of disposing of said failures is throwing "wrong" eggs to Vampires. The average length of his lineages is two generations.

However, Ky has nothing in common with her namesake. She takes great interest in lineages, as she doesn't know her own origins: she spends hours studying pedigrees and she's especially intrigued by hatchlings which look nothing like their parents. She has creeped out many new mothers, staring intently at their hybrid eggs and even offering to "take care of the odd one" in case they didn't want it.
