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.

Wer Kornari Batobot Jahus Woari grew up in an unstable home. His parents were torn between loving their son and hating the monster that he had become. When he was three years old, he was thrown out of the nest. Alone and confused, he sought refuge at a nearby town, but the occupants thought he was attacking and drove him out into the cold again. He was caught in a blizzard and almost died, but an older vampire dragon named Wer Soti found him in the snow and took him back to his cave. Wer Kornari Batobot Jahus Woari recovered soon enough and was allowed to leave, but instead he chose to stay with Wer Soti. Wer Soti taught Wer Kornari Batobot Jahus Woari what his role as a vampire dragon was. At first, Wer Kornari Batobot Jahus Woari was disgusted, but he accepted his fate. When he was taken out to bite his first egg, a sudden memory of his own family made him miss. He bit down wrong, and the egg cracked open. The young dragon inside died.
