:Yes. When polymorphed into a form that is considered a vampire (SLASH'EM adds a flag for it), you are only able to eat fresh corpses. If you have a bite attack that drains life and it hits and drains life, you will also get nutrition from that (6 times the damage done), much like a player vampire. The drain life ''claw'' of a vampire mage will not give you additional nutrition, nor any of the star vampire's attacks. Additionally, this is only the case for SLASH'EM - Vanilla vampires are regular inediate monsters and do not get nutrition from attacks and do not have any diet restrictions. -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] 03:44, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

In version 3.6 I have seen fog clouds and vampire bats reconstitute as vampires and vampire lords after being destroyed. I'd edit the page but I don't know where the code is in the source to reference, so someone more experienced with source diving might want to do it?

Blood from Corpses

Are players polymorphed into vampires affected by the blood in corpses coagulating after a few turns, like players who are of the vampire starting race? -AileTheAlien 03:31, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Shapeshifting vampires in 3.6

In version 3.6 I have seen fog clouds and vampire bats reconstitute as vampires and vampire lords after being destroyed. I'd edit the page but I don't know where the code is in the source to reference, so someone more experienced with source diving might want to do it? Funcrunch (talk) 19:38, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
