Expanded Bestiary: Vampires

A new Bestiary addition, this one focused on one of the undead, The Vampires.



Vampires- Immortal and nearly-indestructible, these undead creatures prowl at night and feed on the blood of the living. Vampires generally possess the form they had in their mortal life before being turned but with a slight paling of the skin, long canine teeth, and red irises. They also possess enhanced strength, agility, senses and flight. As they are immortal and can live for thousands of years, they live lives of decadence and luxury to pass the time. They are highly intelligent and cunning. Their hunting habits vary from luring prey to their homes and feasting on them when they least expect it or stalking prey and gorging on themselves on blood. Vampires are often very skilled magic users, practicing necromancy and summoning while also having a natural ability for shapeshifting and enchantment magic. Some vampires are said to be what is called purebloods, creatures who have been born through conception between two vampires and possess even greater powers than turned vampires but it’s not clear. While they are immortal, they have weaknesses that can be used to defeat or destroy them. They cannot survive in sunlight, they have a violent allergy to garlic and silver, and they can killed by a sharp strike to the heart or head. Religious symbols especially those of Lumos or Scoran cause damage to vampires and many spells can be vary dangerous for them.
