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]]){{refsrc|sounds.c|466}}.

#REDIRECT [[Vampire (monster class)#Messages]]
 
 
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]].
 
 
 
If the vampire is hostile and none of the above apply, one of two messages is randomly chosen, either:
 
 
 
;"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]].
 
;"I vant to suck your blood!"<ref>[http://www.filmsite.org/moments0.html Never actually said by Bela Lugosi in ''Dracula'' (1931)], this quote [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109707/quotes#qt0363244 in fact comes from the 1994 film ''Ed Wood''].</ref>
 
:Otherwise.
 
 
 
or:
 
 
 
;"I vill come after a man/woman without regret!"<ref>This is also supposed to be a "famous vampire quote", but [http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.nethack/browse_thread/thread/1f5b9653bb1db508 it doesn't seem to be quite clear where it's from]. It may be an oblique allusion to [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110148/quotes?item=qt0337704 a discussion of regret in the 1994 film ''Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles''].</ref>
 
:You are a male/female human.
 
;"I vill come after a <race> without regret!"
 
:You are polymorphed or naturally non-human.
