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.

As the first clan-born Vampire Dragon in the family, Eizoku has always thought of himself as somewhat exceptional. He doesn't particularly mind his state of being dead--after all, he finds that his current appearance is preferable over how he would have looked in life anyway. This sort of perspective has led to him becoming rather meticulous about his appearance, spending most of the nighttime hours preening and grooming himself in the light of the full moon or nearby mana crystals. He's not entirely happy that he won't be able to find a conventional mate to settle down with, but in the meantime, he hopes that his vampirism gives other dragons more reason to admire his looks.
