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.

Dark Lord Obsidian can be very persuasive. Some of the family call him the "Silver Tongued Demon" because of his deceptively charming ways. He can talk any dragon into doing anything, and uses his skills to sate his appetite for blood. From the moment he matured he was warned by the family matriarch, Lady Bella Notte, to never drink from a family member. Doing so would see him expelled. So instead he uses his skills to lure in wild dragons to feed on, all the while wondering just what his brothers and sisters taste like.
