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.

The NightHunter was abandoned as an egg, as his previous owner didn't want him. Ever since he hatched, he looked for ways to befriend the other dragons in his new owner's cave, but the other dragons always seemed to be afraid of him-- even the strongest of them were scared of being hurt. When he matured, he always stayed in the darkest corner of the cave, afraid that he would hurt someone. One day, when he sat in his corner, lapping up a tiny cup of blood his owner left for him, a tall, dark shadow crept up behind him. He felt a warm, rotten breath, and heard his heart start pounding quicker than ever before. He turned around. A Zombie dragon was standing there, staring at him with its huge, bloodshot eyes. Night Hunter yelped with fright--Zombie dragons kill everything. He closed his eyes and prepared for death, but the Zombie just smiled slightly. "You hate yourself, I can see. Well, don't. You're special, in a good way, you just don't understand it yet." He said and walked away.
