Vrykolakas
These are the lowest of the Immortal species, and are similar to the modern concept of the 'zombie.'
These frightening, mindless creatures were once mortal humans, though they no longer look it; most of them are in various states of decay and disease, and can be identified on sight. They subsists on dead flesh, preferably human, but they will eat the remains of their own kind and of vampires as well. They are immortal in the sense that they cannot die due to age, but their bodies do change over time (for the worse) and they are by far the most easily killed of their supernatural kin. They burn in sunlight and cannot survive in it for long; nor can they survive being submerged in water.
Vrykolaka are the weakest of the Immortals, but still stronger than the average human.
Vrykolakasm is transmitted through multiple, various means:
contact with bodily fluids of an infected vrykolakas
various terminal diseases can, under the right circumstance, mutate into vrykolakasm
likely some kind of biological agent in the earth that reacts to specific circumstances during the burial and decay process
sufficiently knowledgeable vampires and all demons can infect mortals to produce a vrykolakas
