In [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]], '''Vlad the Impaler''', {{monsym|Vlad the Impaler}}, is buffed significantly from his appearance in ''[[NetHack]]''. He is a unique [[covetous]] [[Vampire (monster class)|vampire]] that guards the [[Candelabrum of Invocation]] and is an [[overlord]] to his kind. In EvilHack, while Vlad the Impaler is "alive", vampires cannot be selected for [[genocide]].

Like his [[Vampire (monster attribute)|vampire brethren]], Vlad the Impaler possesses the abilities of [[flight]], [[unbreathing]], and enhanced [[regeneration]]—he is similarly a [[shapeshifter]] that can take on the same [[fog cloud]], [[wolf]] and [[vampire bat]] forms as [[vampire lord]]s, although he will not shapeshift while carrying the Candelabrum of Invocation. Vlad the Impaler is [[covetous]] and capable of warping short distances, has heightened accuracy, can [[follow]] the [[hero]] to other levels, and desires the Candelabrum of Invocation.

Vlad the Impaler has a weapon attack, a [[Drain life (monster attack)|life-draining]] bite and the ability to cast one mage [[monster spell]] during each of his turns, and possesses [[poison resistance]] and [[sleep resistance]] along with a weakness to [[silver]], as well as [[drain resistance]], [[death resistance]], [[immunity to sickness]], and a [[vulnerability]] to [[Fire (element)|fire]] from being [[undead]].

Vlad the Impaler is [[poisonous]] to consume in his base form, which primarily comes up if he is [[digest]]ed by another monster.

==Generation==
Vlad the Impaler is always generated hostile, and is not a valid genocide target or polymorph form.

Vlad the Impaler resides on a [[throne]] in the northeastern-most room at the top floor of [[Vlad's Tower|his tower]], which is situated within [[Gehennom (EvilHack)|Gehennom]].

Along with the Candelabrum, Vlad the Impaler is always generated with [[Lifestealer (EvilHack)|Lifestealer]], which will always be cursed, [[erosion]]-proof and have an [[enchantment]] from +1 to +3

Vlad the Impaler [[Corpseless|never leaves a corpse]] when killed, and if killed by any method that ordinarily leaves a corpse, a message is printed about his body crumbling to dust.
