Vampires are a class of monster represented by the overall symbol V, all of whom possess a characteristic life-draining bite. They will always be generated hostile and possess the abilities of flight and magical breathing.
The vampire, V, is also the weakest example of this class of monsters.

Vampires are a playable race in SLASH'EM. They can levitate and do not need to breathe, but they cannot eat solid food and have to rely on blood as their only food source. Enemy vampires are often generated with opera cloaks.
