All vampires will talk when #[[chat|chatted]] to, giving a random vampirish message depending on the time of day, the monster's peacefulness, whether you are "kindred" (polymorphed into a [[vampire]] or [[vampire lord]]), and whether you are a "night child" (polymorphed into a [[wolf]], [[winter wolf]] or [[winter wolf cub]])<ref>[[sounds.c#line466]]</ref>.

If the vampire is [[tame]]:

;"Good evening to you Master!"
:You are kindred, and it is [[night]]
;"Good day to you Master. Why do we not rest?"
:You are kindred, and it is day
;"I can stand this craving no longer!"
:It is [[midnight]]
;"I beg you, help me satisfy this growing craving!"
:It is night, but not midnight
;"I find myself growing a little weary."
:It is day

These last three messages are prefixed with '''Child of the night, ''' if you are a night child.

If the vampire is peaceful:

;"Good feeding brother/sister!"
:You are kindred, it is night, and you are male/female
;"How nice to hear you, child of the night!"
:You are a night child, and it is night
;"I only drink... potions."
:You are neither kindred nor a night child, or it is not night.

If the vampire is hostile:

;"This is my hunting ground that you dare to prowl!"
:You are kindred
;"Fool! Your silver sheen does not frighten me!"
:You are polymorphed into a [[silver dragon]]
;"Young Fool! Your silver sheen does not frighten me!"
:You are polymorphed into a [[baby silver dragon]]
;"I vill come after a man/woman without regret!"
:You are male/female and unpolymorphed
;"I vant to suck your blood!"
:No other meaning

This last message actually depends on your physical form:

;I vant to suck your life force!
:You are polymorphed into a [[sphere]] or [[vortex]]
;I vant to suck your juices!
:You are polymorphed into a [[jelly]] or [[fungus]]
