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.

Ukuren is a proud creature, full of strength, charisma, and dignity. But he also knows his place, and it is Makenna who truly rules the Undead pack. Ukuren may be her companion, the only one she trusts with her plans, thoughts and feelings, but he would never challenge her authority let alone try to usurp her place. He is well aware of the qualities that make her a great leader and he knows that she is the only one capable of serving the pack's interests. So he helps her in any way he can, providing a sounding-board, back-up and even an occasional idea of his own, but he is more than happy to keep playing second fiddle.
