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.

Yuri Lowell is a truly kind hearted vampire, unlike the pretend sweetness covering malice of the one who bit his egg, Lucia Blackwell. He is noble, and sincerely wants the best for everyone, though he may go about it a different way because of his unique perspective on things. He's generally a bit cynical when talking to anyone besides his human friend 5ilence and the guardian hatchling Angela Negai, but he just has trouble loosening up around others.
