A '''vampire''', {{red|V}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]], and is used to represent [[Vampire (monster attribute)|vampire]] [[hero]]es and [[racial monster]]s. The basic [[vampire]] monster is renamed to the vampire sovereign to accommodate this, specifically "vampire baron" for a male vampire and "vampire baroness" for a female one.

The vampire is a [[strong]] and [[Intelligent monster|intelligent]] [[undead]] [[humanoid]] that shares many traits with other [[Vampire (monster class)|vampires]]: they are [[unbreathing]], have [[infravision]], can be seen via [[infravision]], and can [[follow]] a hero to other levels if they are adjacent. Vampires can wear all non-[[silver]] [[armor]].

A vampire has a [[claw attack]] and a [[Drain life (monster attack)|life-draining]] bite attack. Vampires possess [[sleep resistance]] and [[poison resistance]] like other undead, along with [[drain resistance]] and [[death resistance]], and are vulnerable to both [[Fire (element)|fire]] and [[silver]].

==Generation==
Vampires cannot be selected as a [[genocide]] target unless [[Vlad the Impaler (EvilHack)|Vlad the Impaler]] has been killed.

Vampire racial monsters leave behind vampiric corpses of the appropriate monster upon death.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
He can transform himself to wolf, as we gather from the ship
arrival in Whitby, when he tear open the dog; he can be as
bat, as Madam Mina saw him on the window at Whitby, and as
friend John saw him fly from this so near house, and as my
friend Quincey saw him at the window of Miss Lucy. He can come
in mist which he create--that noble ship's captain proved him
of this; but, from what we know, the distance he can make this
mist is limited, and it can only be round himself. He come on
moonlight rays as elemental dust--as again Jonathan saw those
sisters in the castle of Dracula. He become so small--we
ourselves saw Miss Lucy, ere she was at peace, slip through a
hairbreadth space at the tomb door.
[ Dracula, by Bram Stoker ]

The Oxford English Dictionary is quite unequivocal:
_vampire_ - "a preternatural being of a malignant nature (in
the original and usual form of the belief, a reanimated
corpse), supposed to seek nourishment, or do harm, by sucking
the blood of sleeping persons. ..."
