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.

Decorative Cake considers himself to be a gentleman, and has his own code of honor he uses to try and be as fair as possible to his prey. He will not attack any dragon who notices him approaching, and doesn't take enough blood to kill those who don't. When he comes across an egg he wants to change, he will give the mother a day to show up and retrieve it before doing so. Whether the other dragons consider this fair or not is irrelevant to him, as he reasons he could be much worse if he so desired.
