}}'''Vampires''', or '''vampyres''', were a class of undead, supernatural beings. They exhibited a range of traits in various varieties across the [[Multiverse]]. | |||
== Nature == | == Nature == | ||
=== Powers and limitations === | |||
In at least [[Universe (Parallax)|one universe]], it was possible to turn into a vampire over time after being bitten by a regular vampire, but this was not a given. These vampires needed human blood to survive, and did not drink any other beverages. They were invisible in mirrors ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'') and weak to direct sunlight, their skin beginning 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]]'') In [[Universe F (Infinity Apartment)|another universe]], vampires needed human blood to survive, though a synthetic substitute existed, but they could walk in the sunlight unprotected with no visible ill effects. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Infinity Apartment (comic story)|Infinity Apartment]]'') | |||
=== Physical traits === | |||
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]]'') while 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]]'') | |||
=== Association with bats === | |||
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)|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 side, or put them away entirely. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Infinity Apartment (comic story)|Infinity Apartment]]'') | |||
=== Specific types === | |||
The [[Invisible Vampyre]]s of [[Sanguivor]] were, as their name implied, invisible. They were beastly creatures who usually killed their victims. However, a non-lethal bite from them would result in the victim beginning to turn into a vampire themselves. They would have the ability to turn invisible too, but remain more human and intelligent than normal Sanguivorian vampires, as demonstrated by [[Acantha]].
