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.

Vile, foul, filthy and greedy: this creature knows nothing of light. Darcy Hawke was stolen while inside his helpless egg to serve as guinea pig on macabre experiments and abandoned with few days left to hatch. Having grown in absolute darkness on his own, with only himself to trust, Hawke feels and harbors repugnance and hatred for all living creatures. His only intention in life is doing evil, for evil was his father, and death, his mother.
