While technically true, we live in a society :sus: that sees dragons as majestic, near-sacred beings of great wisdom. Comparing these aspirational figures to the pathetic murderous vampires that own everything seems counterproductive to me in terms of messaging. Some kind of undead might paint a better picture; personally, my favorite metaphor is Warhammer's Flesh-eater Courts.
Wiki: Flesh-Eater Courts are the courts of madness that serve and are bound to the vampires known as the Abhorrant Ghoul Kings. Most of them are Mordants, former mortals starved by famine and desolation that trapped themselves within a horrific delusion. They are utterly convinced that their cannibalistic feasts are splendid and grandiose visions of nobility.[1] Their job is to gather feasts made from the flesh of the living and the dead and prepare such flesh to be fit for their lord's culinary pleasure.[2]

Yeah this is true because dragons are ho- I mean, uh, they are a representation of the Scarlet King's glory.
