Vampires are a class of monster represented by the overall symbol V, all of whom possess a characteristic life-draining bite. They will always be generated hostile and possess the abilities of flight and magical breathing.

The vampire, V, is also the weakest example of this class of monsters.

SLASH'EM

Vampires are a playable race in SLASH'EM. They can levitate and do not need to breathe, but they cannot eat solid food and have to rely on blood as their only food source. While the enemy blood has a very small nutritional value, the vampires have the advantage of being able to sacrifice even those corpses they have fed upon. They can also drain other humans as well as dogs and cats, without penalties. Enemy vampires are also often generated with opera cloaks.

_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 paersons. ..."
