Count Dracula is the quest nemesis for the undead slayer in SLASH'EM. He guards The Stake of Van Helsing.

Difficulty

Not one of the harder quest nemeses, Count Dracula respects Elbereth and has no magic capabilities. Although he has a level-drain attack, as an Undead Slayer you will automatically be immune to this ability. However, there is a risk that among Dracula's bodyguards there will be a vampire mage capable of casting summon nasties and various other dangerous spells. This can present a major challenge to a level 12 or 13 character. On the other hand, with conflict, you can use those monsters against Dracula himself, potentially destroying him without waking him up yourself.

Origin

He is based on the non-fictional Vlad Drăculea, a 15th century Romanian prince. Strangely enough, the unique monster Vlad the Impaler is also based on Drăculea.
