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.

For a vampire, Moonseed is quite petite, with an almost innocent looking face and big, shiny eyes. She uses her sweet appearance to get closer to her victims, which are quite numerous; she considers it a bad day if she drinks from less than three dragons. Like Domina Roselle, the leader of her coterie, she is somewhat of a sociopath with few joys in life besides wanton bloodshed. Moonseed does, however, collect flowers, which she presses and dries to decorate her little cave. The lucky victims that are dragged back to her lair often wake up surrounded by withered pansies, violets, and roses, which is quite a disconcerting effect when the last thing one remembers is being attacked by a charming, albeit somehow suspicious-looking dragon.
