From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
A man-thing who keeps alive indefinitely by sucking blood from the living; Dracula is the classic example. In the case of Dracula, the vampire form of semi-human was able to change to bat or werewolf form. Vampires are identifiable by, among other things, being invisible in a mirror; they can prowl only between sundown and sunrise, having to rest in their native soil at other times. They are killable by a wooden stake driven thru the heart, in case the need arises.
