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.

Among vampires, Vampirate is considered rather odd. Born of two restless, nomadic waverunners, she shares their affinity for the sea and thus lives on the beach--a choice none of the other vampires understand, since it is generally so sunny there. During the day Vampirate shelters from the sun in a deep grotto, but once dusk falls she emerges to spend all the time she can in the water. Unfortunately, though she would like nothing more than to roam the ocean forever, Vampirate can only wander so far from the shore before she must return to her cave to avoid being caught by the sunrise.
