Vampires are among the most feared of all undead creatures. They feed on the living essence of creatures by drinking their blood.

These humanoid undead appear much as they did in life. However, their bodies are pale from being away from sunlight. The face of a vampire often has a feral, predatory look. Most vampires try to conceal their undead nature by assuming the guise of handsome aristocrats; which enables them to more easily feed upon an unsuspecting population of living humanoids.

Vampire spawn are weaker vampires, often serving as minions to a powerful undead master. They do not possess all of the standard vampire powers, although they are still affected by the traditional weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
