Vampires were a type of undead that fed on blood. They were one of the most feared and powerful undead creatures. A vampire looked very much like it did when alive, but with paler skin, hardened and feral features giving them a predatory aspect, and red eyes that were hard to forget. Their hands were clawed. They did not cast shadows and had no reflections in mirrors. Vampires enjoyed fine things and engaging in decadent behavior, sharing such habits with liches. A vampire was always a creature of evil. If it was not evil in life, it became so in undeath. A vampire retained all the abilities it had in life, and it gained the ability to drain blood and life energy, and to dominate other creatures with its gaze. A vampire could also command rats, bats, and wolves, or take the form of those creatures. Vampires were eternally bound to their coffins and the unholy earth where they were buried. Vampires could not tolerate the smell of garlic and would not voluntarily enter an area with a strong odor of it. To create a Vampire, one would require the infectious bite of a Vampire to mix with the blood of a mortal creature which would slowly turn it into one of its own.
