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.

Strig'Lana Tocahu, despite her appearance, is one of the quietest and most docile dragons on the scroll. As a vampire, her day is spent mostly napping, lounging, or otherwise quiet. Every night, once the sun has bled its last ray, she leaves. Possibly to hunt. Perhaps just to fly and shake off the daytime lethargy. The only dragon privy to Strig'Lana's flight is Antianeirai. Upon returning, at the same time every night, the diurnal dragons are all asleep, save for a few adults, and a restless hatchling once.

Strig'Lana then returns to her part of the cave, and the lone dragon makes sure all is in order. She is very close to Antianeirai, after she was kind to her as hatchlings; the Hellfire curled up next to the supposedly dead Strig'Lana, and kept her company. It's a mystery to Keeper how a Vampire came to be so close to a dragon as  - well—fiery as a Hellfire, but it only makes it all the more endearing. The she-dragons are, in what may be unheard of, mates.
