So Animal Crossing style Psyphon? IDK
Dragg-Revens, Draggs from Revena of Vrykola

Every sapient species on Vrykola has evolved differing forms of energy absorption and transference abilities alongside ordinary heterotrophic structures and organs due to the infrequent sunlight, heat, and food. Skipping even the simple process of photosynthesis, they directly add absorbed energy into their nervous system and empower their body without consumption. Black is a popular color to wear because of this.
All Draggs are white, blue, or black, those from Revena having various horns/spurs and gaps between their radius/ulna and tibia/fibula. Eyes are most commonly warm colors with blues being rarer; the energy they output match the color. Their eyes desaturate depending on the level of energy in their body, turning completely gray as they enter torpor.
Sexual dimorphism also affects horn/spur size and placement, as well as mouth structure. Their noses have no cartilage or flesh covering due to the cold on Vrykola.
Their blood is black, so thinner blood-filled membranes like lips and nails are also black. Insides of mouths are gray, and scars vary from gray to black.
Dragg-Reven limbs are multidirectional; any human direct a limb takes can be reversed, and their heads can turn 180°
They have jellyfish or lobster-levels of immortality and just keep on going on. All natural forms of energy (ex. light, heat, plasma, lasers, fire, electricity, radiation) will not harm them if absorbed. Omni-energy, being an artificially-made form, will harm them whether absorbed or not. Magic/mana, including the light, heat, lasers, fire, and electricity it creates, is also unable to be absorbed. They are resistant to the effects of corrodium until they attempt to absorb its radiation, whereupon then it would mutate them.
A vrykolakas is a Greek vampire, a draugr is a Norse undead, and a revenant is a general term for undead.
Draugar are described as varying from white to black to blue ("death-blue", "corpse-pale", "black as hell", "black as death" from bruises, etc). A vrykolakas differs by being red, from being so full of blood. So beings on Vrykola who are red instead of white/blue/black are known as Vrykolans. They too have regional variants like Draggs, leading to species like Vrykolan-Revens, or Vrykolan-Fenras, etc.
Deimo comes from dread in Greek.
Glam is based off Glámr from the Grettis Saga, a faithless shepherd who died fighting off a monster terrorizing his town and subsequently took its place. He's the origin of the word glamour (Glámr's eyes), meaning magical illusion, where he cursed Grettis for killing him the second time; his unnatural eyes appearing to haunt Grettis in the dark for the rest of his life.
When Glámr died the first time, he was found entirely black (from rotting), swollen to the size of a bull, and every single bone in his body broken.
Technically, he's not described as a draugr, but people always lump him in with the concept anyways.
