Vampire
Vampires are creatures inflicted with either of the diseases Sanguinare Vampiris or Porphyric Hemophilia, and have turned into undead, immortal creatures. Vampires are very weak to sunlight; it blinds them, and causes their skin to burn as if on fire. Vampires can drink the blood of other people to decrease their sensitivity to sunlight. The most well fed can walk outside in the day time, and are indistinguishable from ordinary members of their race. It is possible for a Vampire to survive without drinking blood, though they will become extremely gaunt and pale, making them easily recognisable, and will die quickly in sunlight.

Famous quotes containing the word vampire:
“If I’ve killed one man, I’ve killed two—
The vampire who said he was you
And drank my blood for a year,
Seven years, if you want to know.”

“I am the wound and the knife!
I am the slap and the cheek!
I am the limbs and the rack,
And the victim and the executioner!
I am the vampire of my own heart.”
