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.

His parents, black dragons who were complete snobs, abandoned his egg when they saw that he had been turned, hoping another pair would take it. Days passed, and not one dragon would take the egg, for it was stone cold, and smelt awful. Dragons avoided the egg because of its appearance and strange smell. He hatched all alone, all the other eggs were gone. He raised himself, hunting birds, and as a young adult, deer. He craved blood when he hit adolescence, and when he was an adult, bit an egg and turned it, but he took it in, to raise it.
