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.

WhisperingSmile is a very serious Vampire Dragon female. She studies the evolution and mutation of dragon breeds, and is always taking notes. Taking notes isn't that easy, since she has to grip a burnt stick and neatly make tiny marks, in her own shorthand language. She's always leaving on long night flights to different types of environments, and has discovered many types of dragons. Every couple of centuries, she finds a new breed and often convinces a cave of dragons to trade her an egg.
