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.
#chatting with vampires can give humorous messages.
Vampires are playable as a race in SLASH'EM. They levitate and do not need to breathe, but cannot eat solid food, only relying in blood as nutrient. Also in SLASH'EM, enemy vampires are often generated with opera cloaks.
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 paersons. ..."
