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.

Sparkling Cheese Donut, also known as Dochi, is the oldest Vampire in his Clan. He is like the alpha male of the Vampires in his Clan. He treats Vavrinec, the oldest female vampire, like his mate. They often rescue Vampire eggs and hatchlings that have been abandoned, and treat them like their children. Dochi is sometimes sad, because the first time he bit an egg, it was killed, and he wishes it would have turned so there would be a dragon that descended from him. At least he can bite more eggs in the future, and he has his Clanmates to help him feel better about his loss.
