Skyvixxix

The Skyvixxix are flying vampiric creatures, formed from ectoplasm and infused with the splintered souls and emotions of the victims of violent deaths. Occasionally they are able to manifest on the physical plane, where they enjoy sucking blood and fluids from living things.

Vampire Frogs

Bizarre amphibians infected with a vampire virus. Much like their distant slug counterparts, Vampire Frogs are spawned in a particular dark swamp near lands traditionally associated with legends of the undead. There are tales of ancient, giant vampire frogs which grow to the size of a man, are highly intelligent and have a the full compliment of a vampire's powers. Such ancient ones usually live in lairs deep beneath the surface, and command a following of lesser creatures to do their will.

Vampire Muffin

Strange bakery goods possessed by the spirits of vampires as a punishment from the Gods. They don't like the sunlight and mirrors, but go good with a glass of milk.

Vampire Fruit

Strange undead creatures spawned from fruit trees which had grown over a cursed cemetery. The resulting apples and oranges had wings, fangs, long tendril like appendages, and an appetite for human blood.

Jiang Shi

The Jiang Shi are a type of animated corpse in many Eastern cultures. Like western vampires they rest in crypts or coffins during the day and only terrorize at night. Traditionally the Jiang Shit absorbs the victim's life essence, or chi, although more modern depictions will show them sucking blood.

Jaing Shi are unable to properly walk as their bodies are stiff with rigor mortis, and must move around by hopping with their arms stretched out.

Vampire Worms

Large, parasitic worms which inhabit deep swamps and wetlands. Vampire worms have been known to swam over prey and quickly drain them of fluids. Like the creatures after which they are named they stay out of sunlight, and have been observed burying themselves into deep mud during the daylight hours.

Groselegg

The Groselegg is an undead impish creature, the result of an unholy union between a vampire and a Troll. Such unions are extremely rare, as Trolls are usually considered as lower creatures. The resulting offspring are large, strong and stupid, but also capable as the same types of transformations and need for blood as their vampiric linage.

Acochiopod

Acochiopods are flying, vampiric, undead mollusks, a distant relative of the Vampire Slugs. They tend to swarm over warm blooded prey at night, but like all vampires must avoid direct sunlight.

Vampire Vine

Vampire Vines are not vines at all, but more closely resemble squid. The creatures use their expansive hoods to capture small prey, but have also been known to latch onto the face of those who it sees as threats.

Mjertovjec

The Mjertovjec is an undead werewolf, native to Russia and eastern Europe. To destroy the Mjertovjec you had to sprinkle poppy seeds along the road leading from the tomb to the house of the deceased. Final disposing of the body involved pinning it through the chest with a stake, or burning.

The Countess of Blood

Ezliabeth Bathory was a Hungarian Countess, who is alleged to have tortured and killed over six hundred victims, the majority of which were young peasant girls. Legends arose of vampiric behavior, such as her drinking and bathing in the blood of young virgins to retain her youth.

By 1610 when Bathory began to prey upon the daughters of lesser nobility public outcry became so great that she was finally apprehended. Her four servants were brutally tortured, imprisoned, and executed (including having their fingers ripped off, beheaded, then burned at the stake.) As a member of the nobility Elizabeth herself escaped execution, but spent the last four years of her life walled up in a set of rooms, with no human contact, until she finally died. Local legend maintains she arose as a vampire after her death.

Vampire Toast

He wants to suck your blood...

Vampires

The undead come in many shapes and sizes, but no myths are so prevalent than that of Vampires. Such creatures as these which prey upon the blood or life force of the living can be found in the folklore of nearly all peoples, and allowing for cultural differences describe nearly the same thing: A person who dies under mysterious circumstances, who then returns from the grave to torment and prey upon former friends and relatives. The standard Vampire of popular culture is inspired loosely from Eastern European tradition, and takes the form of an immortal youth, beautiful but pale, weakly looking but supernaturally strong, who perishes in direct sunlight and must consume blood to survive.

Are Vampires real? Of the supernatural variety sadly not, although there are real life medical conditions which may have contributed to the myth.

Soul Stealer

Soul Stealers are are hideous, incredibly strong, super zombies, but instead of craving the flesh of the living they feed from their victim's soul. Such creatures gain this ability through evil magics and demonic pacts. Although drinking from the souls of others imbues one with great powers, the act in itself corrupts the body and mind, until eventually all that is left is a disgusting, vile thing, no longer resembling human.

Vampire Slug

Large bloodsucking slugs found in eastern European swamps. Unlike similarly named animals which merely drink blood (such as Vampire Bats,) in this case the name is a little more accurate. This is a population of slugs which have actually been infected with vampirism. Several thousand years ago it is believed a vampire found himself isolated in a swamp, and was forced to spend the daylight hours buried in mud. During this time several slugs fed off his body and became infected. Over the years the infection spread to many of the other slugs in the area. Some of the older slugs even have developed "Vampire" powers like their human counterparts.

Penanggalan

The Penanggalan is a variation of the Vampire from Malay. During the day they appear as normal people, but at night the head will detach (with trailing entrails) and fly about seeking victims. The Penanggalan usually chooses newborn mothers and small children to prey upon - when a child is born the creature uses an abnormally long tongue to lap up blood from the mother. The victims of the Penanggalan usually die of strange diseases, and become Penanggalan themselves.

This creature is called by many different names in surrounding countries:

Indonesia: Leak
Thailand: Krasue
Cambodia: Arb

Unlike these similar creatures, the Penanggalan is always female.

Revenant

A Revenant is a ghost or animated corpse in medieval belief, often returned to terrorize the living. Those who lead greedy, self-serving lives were likely to return as the walking dead. Revenants were also known to return to enact revenge (for example, against the one who murdered them,) or to give warnings.

In "A Christmas Carol," Ebenezer Scrooge's deceased business partner Jacob Marley returns as a Revenant.

Vampire Slug

Bizarre alien vampire slugs from another planet. Unlike their Earthborn counterparts these slugs grow to 4 feet long and are capable of moving very quickly through the air. One of them can quickly incapacitate a full grown man.

Hariqua, the starfish mutant

A mutated starfish/lamprey. From the lab of a mad scientist whom gave him his armor and weapon, this beast seeks and destroys the scientist's enemies and sucks out their blood! It wasn't until the scientist ran out of enemies, did it turn on him. Now Hariqua hunts people with his stun gun for their delicious blood. Will anyone stop him?

Enjoys: Blood, 50's monster movies, and Convertibles with hormone struck teenagers inside.

Dislikes: Being away from water for to long, being told he looks like something from He-man.

Ghoul

Ghouls are born from Arabian mythology, and originally were shapeshifting demons who raided cemeteries and burial grounds to feast upon corpses. In modern fiction they've become a sort of stronger, super-zombie, usually with some modicum of superhuman strength and free will.
