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.

Dark, evil and devious, BlackBite lays traps for his prey.

—An overturned cart in the street forces them into an alleyway  and into his sharp teeth and claws.

—A grassy widening of the forest path gives way to a pit trap beneath; the only spikes therein, his long fangs.

—A razor thin wire across the entrance to a cave, and a dragon flying in for rest finds eternal peace while BlackBite finds sustenance.

He thirsts.  He captures.  He plays with his prey.  He sinks his teeth in and drinks.  He leaves the empty husk to rot.  

Such is the evil performance he acts out every night.
