Dhampirs are the cursed, mortal progeny of vampires. They are sometimes termed half-vampire or, more cruelly, half-dead.
Most dhampirs are tall and slender, possessing physical grace and unearthly beauty. While eye colour, skin hue, and hair colour resembles that of the mother, they also possess a ghostly pallor which people find unnerving. They tend to move with unworldly fluidity, and have a piercing gaze. Finally, all dhampirs possess elongated incisors, a trait passed down from the vampiric progenitor.
Regardless of their heritage, dhampirs are still mortal creatures, although their aging process slows down to the rate comparable to that of elves.
