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.

Vampiricus Tragicus is a tragedy of a vampire. His hobby is reading children's books about fairies and magic and stardust and stuff. He does realise this is embarrassing for the other vampires and by mutual agreement his preferences are never discussed.

He wants to see the sun rise some day. He has no idea why, and he has never told anyone. He has never dared to try and actually do anything about this, as he is genuinely afraid it might kill him—and although vampires are supposed to rather like the idea of death—he doesn't. He hasn't told anyone that either.
