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.

Bloodfang had never felt like she belonged. As a hatchling, all the others had teased her about the fact that she had no parents and was afraid of the light. She spent most of the day watching the other hatchlings frolic and play. Even the adults did their best to avoid her, her only friend being her owner. One day she decided to go out at night, a feat that none of the other dragons did not dare. She found, to her surprise, that she was not at all afraid of the dark, and met many other dragons like her. She decided to go out every night. Bloodfang had found her calling.
