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.

Starry Pink is a very aggressive Vampire Dragon. Forced to live outside the clan's main boundaries, she is ever resentful and angry, fighting against her bloodsucking nature and the world in general. She especially hates Watermelon Girl for her easy nature and for the clan's acceptance of her; this has led to many a bloody battle between the two Vampires. Starry Pink will often sneak into the cave where the clan lives at night, and then attempt to kill eggs and hatchlings. The other dragons depend on Watermelon Girl's protection for their young to survive Starry Pink's attacks.
