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.

"Important entry- Why vampires are not friendly"

"Frankly, as a vampire, this is an embarrassing fact to have to state. Vampire dragons are not friendly because we eat almost everyone else. If you want to become friends with your meal before you chomp it down, go ahead. It's pointless, but you're welcome to do so if you like.

On many occasions the vampires who have felt the need to become friends with other dragons prior to eating them have overdone it to a point where they actually become public examples. Take YuLo, for instance, he began life a perfectly normal, healthy, dead egg. When he first cracked out, however, he decided that he wanted to be friends with everyone. This would be perfectly normal for say a Frill hatchling, not for a supposedly bloodthirsty vampire.

After being bullied extensively, he's eventually started to actually EAT some of his friends, but even this he's done reluctantly."
