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.

Hallow Fang is a young, sometimes violent vampire dragon. Though she differs from her typically blood-sucking breed, Hallow Fang finds dark pleasure in injecting venom into alive eggs, transforming them into eggs of her own breed, or even more enjoyable for her...making the egg completely dead, even robbing it of a seemingly dead vampire hatchling that might have grown inside. Nonetheless, Hallow Fang is almost firmly vegetarian, preferring fruits over blood, sucking out sweet juices from several varities of plants, which taste better to her than "salty blood", as she describes it. Most other dragons treat Hallow Fang cautiously, as they want to avoid the gory fate that has come over more than one too many eggs in their care, but little did they know that the venom in her bites is only potent enough for eggs.
