Catacomb Vampire

Attribute: Dark   Type: Vampire   Habitat: Catacombs, places with no sunlight   Lurking in the deep, dark, humid places of the world, the catacomb vampire is a vile creature that thirsts for fresh, warm blood. The most feral and animalistic of the vampire-kind, and also the second weakest, the first being the vampire spawn, the catacomb vampire dwells in dark places from which it stalks its unwary prey before dragging it to its doom.   Origin  
The catacomb vampire is born when a vampire spawn is left to wander aimlessly, its master dont caring for it. Given enough time, the creature starts to regress to a primitive state, becoming more of a rabid beast. Its body is then warped and twisted, its ears becoming elongated, its skin shrievels and turns a sickly grey, its fangs grow large and sharp, and its forearms sprouth bat-like wings that, despite its size, allows the vampire to fly.
Altough weaker than others of its kind, the catacomb vampire is still a force to be reckoned. Superhuman strenght, the ability to fly, and being able to teleport in a cloud of black smoke are only a few of its abilities
  Weaknesses   As with any other vampire-kind, catacomb vampires are susceptible to certain materials and susbtances:  
  • Holy water: the mere touch of holy water works like an acid on a vampire skin, burning is severely and depriving it of its teleporting ability
  • Silver: Silver is the only metal capable of dealing mortal damage to a vampire.
  • Sunlight: Pure sunlight ( not merely a Sunlight spell) Immediatly vaporizes a vampire, leaving only ashes.
  • Vampire spawn   As with any vampire, the catacomb can also produce vampire spawn from victims it bites with its filth-ridden fangs. If the victim dies, it transforms into a vampire spawn the next night after its death. If the victim its only bitten, it suffers in agony from one to four days until it dies from the infection, then it transforms the next night. The only cure available its using a Purifier while still on the early days of the infection. However, once the victim turns, there is nothing it can be done.   Drops
  • Vile wing
  • Catacomb vampire fang
