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.

Akkuji's name comes from Akuji, which means "dead and alive". Akkuji loves to scare and fake people out, like hiding in the darkness, waiting for the slightest movement... Sometimes he just likes acting as if he REALLY is dead. As such, poor Akkuji doesn't have many friends. Every time Akkuji approaches a new-born hatchling, they scurry away as fast as their clumsy little legs will go.
