A vampire mage, V, is a type of monster that appears in GruntHack, and is implemented from the deferred monster in the code of NetHack. Like other vampires in GruntHack, the vampire mage is a racial monster that is considerably stronger than a vampire lord - he shares the same traits as his undead vampire kin, will seek out and pick up magical items, and is a lord to his kind.

Vampire mages possess a claw attack and bite attack that can drain life, and will attempt to cast one mage monster spell for each round of combat.

Generation

Randomly generated vampire mages are always hostile.

A vampire mage leaves behind an old corpse matching the racial monster they were upon death.
