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.

A ghostly whisper, a stirring wind, a presence in the dark woods beyond, sending shivers down the spines of other dragons, a pair or red eyes, flashing fangs, trickling blood...it is the vampire dragon! But Ghostly Lights isn't as gruesome and horrible as she is portrayed in other dragons' tales. Those who are close to her, the brave souls that have managed to befriend her, know that she is gentle and merciful, and would never do such a thing as to attack one of her fellow dragons. Rather, to sustain her bloodthirsty instinct, she drinks the blood of the animals that frequent her shadowy forest home. It isn't quite enough to keep her healthy and full, but she will do it to avoid having to kill other dragons and watch them die a painful and horrific death, their skin as white and pale as her's from lack of blood.
