Monstrous Vampires



"Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make."

- Count Dracula

Vampires are the most infamous blood-sucking undead monsters of the night. Although originally known as horrible, grotesque zombie-like beasts in European folklore, Vampires have become popularized as much more intelligent and human-like beings that are labeled as the living dead so as to enhance the idea of them being more powerful and smarter than the usual undead.

Alternatively, a Vampire can be any kind of monster that is known to feast regularly on flesh and blood or others such as energy, life-force and many other things, although beings that steal life essences may be closer to a collector of souls.

Many Vampires are also very well-known and popular for their ability to transform into monstrous bat-like creatures or animals such as wolves, bats, ravens, rats and many others as well as having mist or smoke all around them during their appearance.

Their favorite prey can be humans, cattle, sheep, horses, goats, rabbits, birds such as chickens, ducks, and geese and rodents such as mice and squirrels. They are commonly depicted as hailing from the Mediterranean or Eastern Europe or having accents from either region. The most well-known example of a Vampire is Count Dracula.

Vampires can also be killers who take delight in sucking their victim's blood (this type of vampire is often linked with psychopathy, psychosis or perversion). In fact these kind of sociopathic killers in part contributed to the legend of the undead monster and are frequently seen in horror media as examples of "living vampires".
