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.

Soshaku is among the more quiet dragons, listening and observing instead of taking part in actions himself. He's one of the smartest of the bunch, as well as the slyest. Due to his breed he's rather shunned by the other dragons in the cave and tends to spend all of his time alone or with Shikkan, the only other vampire. The others are rather cautious while he is around their eggs, as well- particularly the females. So far he hasn't failed in a biting yet, but many mothers dislike their babies being killed before they could fully mature.
