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.

Doomerio was never truly accepted by his tribe, but instead assigned himself to it. He was originally mistaken for a sick hatchling, but when the dragons realized what he truly was some grew afraid. These dragons tried to drive him away, but instead of leaving he claimed a small cave a short distance from the others. The elders decided that it would be better to leave him alone than to get into a fight with a Vampire, and the dragons tried to ignore him. A few young dragons decided to see for themselves this Vampire, and realized that Doomerio is actually a very kind, intelligent, non-confrontational dragon. He keeps to his cave, talking only to the few that have befriended him.
