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.

Salem's Lot considers himself a story, something unique, and an interesting tale of dragon darkness and mystery. Therefore, he will describe himself in great emo detail to anyone who cares to listen.<br/>In Clan Svataben it is generally considered a bad idea to end up in a dark corner of the cave alone with any vampire dragon. The thing could be hungry for more than cow blood or worse... It could be Salem's in a chatty mood, and the unfortunate "prisoner of conversation" would be stuck there for hours.<br/>The only dragon who understands him and cares enough to actively listen is Orange, the magi female. She has her own issues with life and understands full well how much one can need to talk about such things.
