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.

As soon as the sun sets, Vampio is up and ready to go hunting for his next meal. He's quick to find it too, and it's often only a few hours before Vampio's back in his clan's main cave. He is very sociable with other species of dragons, and is known for being a bit of a flirt despite the fact that vampire dragons don't mate. After all of the other dragons are asleep, Vampio goes on a second hunting trip and returns with food and sometimes a flower for Blossom, a pink dragon he has a soft spot for. The pair often stay up together chatting while keeping watch over their clan's cave at night.
