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.

While many think vampire dragons may be scary or dangerous, Volunt has a far different reputation. He is actually liked, he is even seen making jokes with others and is very lively, he laughs at the irony when brought up in conversation.  Volunt has an uncommon control of his needs, even if another dragon were to be injured and badly bleeding before him he wouldn't flinch or move in any way to get the blood.  He would help them to a medic dragon or even assist himself if aid is too far.  That's not to say he doesn't need blood, while he can go without it and eat normal as any other dragon he is much healthier if he gets to drink blood once in a while.  Since Volunt has actually saved a number of lives some of them offer to let him have an amount of their blood occasionally.  Volunt accepts but will ask multiple times if they are okay with it before proceeding and once feeding will drink no more than what he absolutely needs.  Despite being a vampire, he hopes to find a mate one day.
