The Vampire can live in any terrain or climate.Their organization is solitary, and due to their inability to be in sunlight, their activity cycle is at night. The Vampire has exceptional intelligence and has an alignment of Chaotic Evil.
Of all the undead creatures that stalk our earth, none are more dreadful than the Vampire. They move silently through the night and prey upon the living without mercy or compassion. Unless deep underground, The Vampire must return it's coffin by sunlight or they will perish. Another reason for this is because their power is renewed by contact with soil from their graves.
One thing about The Vampire that is dangerous to humans is the ability to pass through the world as a normal man or woman. They have no undead like features and in fact are usually very handsome men or very beautiful women. In many cases, The Vampire's true appearance is not seen until it actually attacks.
Vampires can also summon lesser creatures to come to their aid and at will, summon a horde of rats or bats. Also at their will, a Vampire can disperse it's own body into the form of a cloud of elemental vapor or possibly a large bat. Vampires have enormous strength which enables them to easily overpower any human with just a grab or a push.
It has been said that Western Vampires have the ability to at will walk invisibly through the towns and streets where they are, therefore being unseen predators on an unsuspecting prey. Eastern vampires do not have that same ability but are just as dangerous as their Western counterparts.
