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. They are vulnerable to silver weapons.
The members of the vampire class are:
- V vampire
- V vampire lord
- V Vlad the Impaler
#chatting with vampires can give humorous messages.
Standing on an altar scares vampires as if you were standing on Elbereth or a scroll of scare monster[1]. Any altar will have this effect, including an altar to Moloch.
Players polymorphed into any V polymorph into vampire bats when the player polymorphs without polymorph control
Vampire
The vampire, V, is the weakest example of this class of monsters.
Starting race
Vampires are a playable race in SLASH'EM and UnNetHack. They can fly 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.
Players polymorphed into a vampire must drain the fresh blood of corpses. If they wait too long, the blood will coagulate, becoming useless as a nutrition source. They may also get nutrition from combat if they have a bite attack that drains life.
SLASH'EM
Star vampires get no nutrition from any of their attacks, nor does the claw attack of a vampire mage provide sustenance. This is largely unimportant unless the player is polymorphed for an extended time, or low on nutrition.
In SLASH'EM, Vampires are generated with Opera cloaks, if you are lucky, it will be a cloak of magic resistance. Be careful though, because it could also be a Poisonous cloak.
Encyclopedia entry
The Oxford English Dictionary is quite unequivocal:
_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 persons. ..."
