In at least [[Universe | In at least [[Parallax Universe|one universe]], vampires needed human blood to survive, and did not drink any other beverages. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'') They would gain a temporary bond with the person whose blood they'd drunk, allowing the vampire to sense their location. This had particularly spectacular effect when a vampire attempted to drink some of [[Jenny Everywhere]]'s blood. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere]]'') It was possible for them to turn a human into a vampire on purpose, which could, in certain cases, be a form of torture. It was also possible for vampirism to take hold of a victim over a period of months after being bitten, but this was not a given. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'') | ||
In that and other universes, vampires were weak to direct sunlight; in some circumstances, their skin began to burn after a few seconds of exposure, though they could quickly recover from this if taken back into shade. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallax (short story)|Parallax]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[A Letter From Beyond (comic story)|A Letter From Beyond]]'') While “sleeping” in the daytime, vampires would go catatonic, becoming indistinguishable from freshly-dead cadavers. They could, if necessary, be forcibly awakened early by dripping some blood into their mouth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Absquatulation of Jenny Everywhere]]'') If their heart was pierced through by a wooden stake — sufficiently broadly defined that shards from a hardwood bullet could do the trick — the vampire would crumble into dust on the spot.

Many vampires had sharp canines, which were more properly referred to as fangs instead of teeth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Infinity Apartment (comic story)|Infinity Apartment]]'', ''[[Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror]]'') Some had unusually-coloured eyes: [[Alan (Infinity Apartment)|Alan]]'s were golden, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Infinity Apartment (comic story)|Infinity Apartment]]'') [[Marcus]] had normal whites but red irises, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2 (comic story)|Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2]]'') and the fake [[Dracula]] appearance once used by [[Strach]] had eyes with yellow “whites” and red irises. The latter also had pointy ears. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror]]'') [[Ibdis]] had extremely pointy ears, as well as chalk-white skin ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Letter From Beyond (comic story)|A Letter From Beyond]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet the Undead (short story)|Meet the Undead]]'', etc.) and clawed fingers.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Simple Logic (comic story)|Simple Logic]]'') [[Kim (Parallax Universe)|Kim]] could temporarily develop clawed fingers as a defense mechanism when startled or otherwise made to go feral.

Some vampires, including victims of the Sanguivorian vampires and the vampires of the [[819th Universe]], could also turn into bats at will. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'') [[Kim | Some vampires, including victims of the Sanguivorian vampires and the vampires of the [[819th Universe]], could also turn into bats at will. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'') [[Kim (Parallax Universe)|Kim]], a friend of Jenny's who had vampiric abilities, though she never called herself a vampire, had the ability to turn into a ''swarm'' of bats, which would pool together to reform into a single woman when she took human form again. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'') [[Alan (Infinity Apartment)|Alan]], a vampire from [[Universe F (Infinity Apartment)|yet another universe]], could grow bat-like wings on his back at will, adjust their size, or put them away entirely.
