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.

"You are a disgrace! Off with you!" an angry female vampire roared. "This is a blood clan!" The small male hatchling fled as fast as he could out to the fields of night. They didn't accept him because he wasn't bitten by any dragon in that clan. Befitting belonged nowhere it seemed. He soon gave up on trying to join any vampire clans as none ever took him in. Befitting settled himself in a burrow underneath a tree's roots and made that his new home. Years later a forest fire raged through, destroying the place he's known for so long. Misfortune after misfortune piled up on this poor soul, and he forever sealed his mouth shut to other creatures. Befitting could never speak to another again. Curiously enough, once he lost the ability to communicate, he heard various cries of those who have had similar fates as his. He set off to find them, wherever they may be.
