What are some unusual variants on the vampire from various cultures? I know about those chinese vampires that had to count things, but what else is out there? Seems like a lot of cultures independently developed the vampire legend, after all.

There's the Scottish Baobhan sith I suppose. Not terribly different from the mundane vampire.
They're often more succubus-like in that in some tales, rather than sucking blood, they suck the libido out of a man making him impotent.
Sometimes they have deer hooves for some reason. They're also scared of horses.

Balkan vampires are sentient but genocidal, drink blood endlessly and as they become more powerful, they start bloating and turning into a sickly shade of pink. Oh, and confusing them using people or trinkets of their time alive has them go into a frenzy. If they meet the item that caused their confusion during daybreak, they get cured of their vampirism.

Also, sunlight doesn't kill them, just turns them into normal corpses, they turn after sudden non-vampire related death and they can't traverse holy ground (can't enter a church, but if they get put inside it, they can't exit it)

>The organs twinkle like fireflies.
>Most common method of defending against it is to set up thorns or the like to ensnare the Penanggalan's entrails.

>Best ways to kill it are finding the body while the head is away and pouring broken glass down the neck to sever the internal organs when the head attempts to reattach or just find a way to keep the head from reattaching till sunrise.

As an additionally creepy note the creature tends to work as a midwife by day and has a thing for feeding on pregnant women.

That's only one thing vampires have historically represented, though.

First we have the Kizoku, a seemingly normal, albeit extremely handsome man; often of oriental decent. Like many vampires his predation is that of seduction, however for the Kizoku this is their only form. Preying only on married or other non single women, they convince their target to betray and murder their husbands or lovers; and when the deed is done and the maiden is theirs, he may finally claim their soul and drain their energies. Most are often spellcasters as well.

Next is the drow vampire, unusual mainly in that, while making most other dark elves of their kind a bit unnerved, they are generally revered as being closer than most to understanding the true powers of the universe. While most are female, and will prey on other humanoids to feed, they generally do not have to hide their true nature in their home, and are able to walk the underarm with no fear of sunlight. They feed through a touch attack, leaving only a welt on the spot.

Once a vampire has chosen it's bride or groom, it typically means destruction and agony for anyone who stands in their way. However after their vile ceremony is completed, the vampire is incredibly vulnerable, crumbling down next to their dark lover for an hour. If the vampire is killed in this time, they become the tragic creature known as a Vorlog. Somewhere in between a human and a vampire, the vorlog longs only for its slain creator, constantly in pain and sorrow at their loss. The vorlog does not drain energy, but spiritual energy in the form of wisdom. If a victim fall below 3 wisdom, they gain the sorrow the Vorlog carries, craving only the vorlogs touch. At zero health the vorlog collapses into a pile of its own tears, reforming 8 hours later.

After an the unholy mating of a vampire and human; if an offspring is unfortunate enough to be created, the result is the Dhampir. Having the powers of their sire, though lessened by their humanity, are also protected from their vampiric ancestries weaknesses. The sun will nullify their dark gifts however. The Dhamphir also gains a character class, and most either follow the dark path of predation, though in their case only for enjoyment and power, some become exceptional monster hunters; striking out to prevent others of suffering their same fate.

Chiang-shi originate from lands with eastern culture. It is however, the curse that is eastern in nature, and not necessarily its victim. The chiang-si have long, thin white hair, glowing luminous skin, and razor sharp nails; which continue to grow in u death, and if trimmed will grow back immediately upon rest. The chiang-si float silently directly above the ground. They are repelled by the smoke of incense of Rosemary and Myrrh, and can only be defeated by the seeding these herbs amongst the soil from their native lands they keep in their coffin, or by placing a blessed rosemary bulb in its mouth.

Reviled by even their undead brothers, the Vrykolaka are twisted beings. They are scavengers and disease carriers. Their features are sunken or bloated with decay, resembling walking cadavers. Glowing green eyes and curling talons, Vrykolaka almost seem like vampires whose host could not handle the change. Instead of fangs they drink from their victims with a needle like barb at the end of their foot long tongue. Spreading disease and sickness where they go, the only company they keep is the swarms of insects and scavengers who follow the scent of their rot.

A solitary, and shameful creature; the dwarven vampire spends it's time in deep forgotten caves. For most Dwarves the afterlife is a time of great rest and celebration of a life of hardwork, these pitiful undead hide from their own kind, ashamed of what they've become. Some say they can merge with stone itself, and travel through it as others would water. They cannot enter any building that's not at least partially created of stone or earth.

The elven vampire is a horrendous sight to see indeed. Their beauty and connection to nature is the target of their curse, become ugly deformed creatures who poison the very earth around them. They typically hide their fate beneath cloak and veil in a feckless attempt to hide what they've become. They walk the land at day and must hide from the moon, though must avoid the underground entirely.

Thankfully the rarest of the humanoid vampires, the Gnomish Vampire is more solitary then even the dwarven vampire. Retreating deep below the surface where encounters with even other demi-humans are rare. Mute creatures robbed of the jokes and song of their people many rely on writing to communicate. Theyre attacks may not seem to do much damage, but drain the dexterity from their victim, leaving them arthritic, crippled, or even dead as this spread to to lungs and brain. Though rare, the smile of these fallen gnomes can be deadly; causing their victims to laugh themselves to death.

Drawing a small kender village into his domain, he slowly killed each and everyone, torturing them and twisting them into his slaves. Now resembling mummified corpses, Bones poking through tightly stretched flesh. The Kenner can now only speak through rough whisper, even that painting them.

While not technically undead, the Vampyre are still related to the horrific creatures of the night. Beautiful beings, they travel in packs no larger than a dozen. With members of both genders, entice their prey with promises of romance and frivolity, the vampyre will trap it's would be lover and drain them for days, keeping them just too weak to escape.

When two packs of Vampyre meet, woe is the town that hosts. The two packs will celebrate with a week's long party of death and destruction, ending with the mating of each pack, creating the progeny of their horrific clan.

Athaekeetha, was the creation of dark experiments deep underneath Bluetspur. A melding of illithid and vampire Athaekeetha and it's kind are true abominations, with longer feeding tendrils they drill a hole through their victims skull to eat the brain contained inside. Luckily their intelligence is lower than most illithid, but they are more fierce and rabid, making up with with great power. Only the most skilled, and unhinged scientist would ever dream of a creature as foul as this.

Audun Beck is the Captain of the Illsong who was killed and reanimated as a vampire while on a voyage. After the attack, he cursed the gods and and made a wish for his crew to survive. A cursed magic helmet he carried granted a tainted version of his wish, animating his crewmen as sea zombies and ghost pirates.

obsessed with finding a cure for his vampirism, he massacred his entire village and took to the sea of sorrow, where he has cut a bloody path of death for centuries.

Chinese vampires have far more weaknesses than merely having to count rice.
>Items made of wood from a peach tree
>Nail seven jujube seeds into the acupuncture points on the back of a corpse
>Fire
>Ba gua sign
>I Ching
>Tong Shu
>Glutinous rice (it draws away impurities)
>Thread stained with a concotion of black ink, chicken blood and burnt talisman
>Blood of a black dog
And they can be controlled by affixing a Taoist talisman, stuck on the forehead.

Further, they drain their victims of qi rather than blood though some equate the two, can only move by jumping or hopping and always have their arms outstretched due to rigor mortis.
The hopping vampire or Jiang Shi, even has it's own genre of movie in places like Hong Kong

I wouldn't say every single culture developed vampire myths.

Just because it looks like a European vampire, doesn't mean it is a vampire. The D&D categorization autism strikes again.

It's the whole "the entire world has a myth about the flood". No, the entire world has myths about floods.

Also, yeah you are right about all the different European variant myths. Doesn't change the fact that it all birthed from the early modern period and the fear of curses and revenants.

The idea of the vampire has had more than 1000 years to change and mutate all over Europe, of course you get a million different variants.

You're enormously downplaying how long people have feared ravenous undead who feed on blood or energy. The oldest written literature is about the êkemu, a vampire, seeking revenge on his family for an improper burial.

Care to elaborate on that?

Also, now I''m thinking if the roots of the fear for bloodsucking/cannibal humans come from neolithic burial rituals. We know that neolithic people sometimes ate part of the deceased before burying the deceased.

We don't really have any proper vampires in Scandinavian folklore. We have plenty ghouls though, like draugr. The seductive part is present in the Neck; a sexy, nude man or woman-looking creature that tricks people into hopping into his/her stream or lake. Sometimes they play an instrument, sometimes they're not evil and just sexy.

First read about the Penangalan in the 1st Ed Fiend Folio, later worked a manufacturing job with a lot of Filipino co-workers (who were fucking awesome, hard working, kind, funny people who I can't say enough good things about). Got talking with Ronaldo about comics, started talking Hellboy. Mentioned a story from The Right Hand Of Doom where Hellboy is in the Filipines and encounters a penangalan. Rob proceeds to tell me what bits of folklore he can remember, because obviously it's something only the older folks really had as part of their cultural landscape.

Anyway, the Penangalan appears as the flying, severed head of a beautiful young woman, with all the vital organs hanging from the raw stump of the neck. She has to either and shrink her organs by soaking them in vinegar so she can reattach herself to her body. That's what I got from Hellboy and DnD.

What I got from Ron is that they apparently went after the blood of expectant mothers and newborns, and that they'd pick up the spilled blood and body fluids of a birth, and try to fly in your nursery window to drink your baby's blood. The traditional defence against this was to attach long thorns to the window frame to snag and catch her organs as she flew in.

The Madness Season by CS Friedman has shapeshiftign vampires as a race. they aren't undead just a human mutation that lives an extraordinarily long time. Sunlight exposure makes their normally slow metabolism burn human fast, and they get a fever and can't be differentiated from humans. They only drink blood because their own bodies can't process normal nutrition, but a synthetic hemoglobin substitute is fine. they remember everything and sometimes even lapse into memory fugue states where they relive memories intensely.

At the end, and this is truly spoiler, The MC realizes that the reason vampires exist is that when large population segments of the human race die off or suffer massive fatalities, vampires serve as the human 'memory back', lkiving for hundreds of years and lookign like anyone they need to to inspire, teach, discover 'new technology', and unearth 'ancient secrets', and so on. All those scientists making great discoveries? Not humans, vampires giving back information lost to the ages.

Dhampir are probably the apex of wasted potential in gothic horror. It does get boring when they're just a collection of tropes since in folklore:
>Not all dhampir are good.
>Not all dhampir are the product of rape.
>Not all dhampir hate their progeny.
>Not all dhampir are male.
>Not all dhampir have all the powers of their parent.
>Not all dhampir who hunt monsters do it for free
>Not all dhampir who hunt monsters sympathize with humans
etc.

In romanian folklore the dhampir will always side with the mother and that marks their destiny, wether they'll be vile warlocks of brave hunters. And good dhampir usually don't have more than one magic ability: to turn into a massive black hound that can fight vampires, witches and werewolves.

Ironically the only dhampir I've really enjoyed reading is the greatest gary stu of all, but the fact that D behaves more like a poised spaghetti western protagonist than an angsty goth kid makes him more true to dhampire folklore

I'm all for doing pagan psychedelic ceremonies drinking weird herbal brews and eating funny mushrooms, but I refuse to put any belief in any belief system.

Paganism is all part of the same problem as the monotheistic faiths. The creation of an absolute world-view that is dogmatic. Before religion, humans had everchanging chaotic ideas about the world around them that changed as quickly as the understanding of shamans about the world. Now we return to that mindset, an era where science, philosophy and art are always stretching the boundaries of thought, providing us all with new ideas on how to think, providing us with more degrees of freedom, more "space" to think. To adhere to a belief system is to shackle your mind in place, unable to experience the full range of thought that can be experienced. [/autism]

I have a roleplay question and considering the thread topic I figure this is the place to ask

How could I roleplay a human who hates vampires and hunts them being forced into thralldom?
I can't figure out how to react to "so you're a thrall now" especially since this character is 100% dedicated to human purity and bodily perfection
I want to fight against it but doesn't the fact that the character is a thrall now (and has been for quite some time) mean he is basically broken?

He could strive to have his thrall-dom cured, or to use his newer power to do an end to vampires, vowing to end himself when his talk is complete.

His task is complete* fucking mobile

Or simple misunderstandings of decomp.

Too good a fate if you ask me.

Yeah I guess that's the way to go, so far I've been playing him as just depressed and disgusted with himself, but I hate the low-energy emoness, and so do the other players, I gotta go on a full on self-hating crusade

Vampire question for the thread.
I have an idea for a 5e warlock whose patron is a Vampire Lord/Lady and was wondering how to go about it. DM is accomodating and likes the idea, but I still need to hash out the mechanics. I was thinking of the undying patron, but that one seems more geared towards liches and necromancers. Has anyone found a good homebrew vampire lord type patron, or had any ideas in that regard? I can give more details on the concept if anyone thinks that might help. Thank you in advance.

Is it the vampire or the bride that becomes the vorlog?
>>
Make a huge lists of Vampire powers, weaknesses and passive traits from all sorts of stories and cultures, then create individual vampires by rolling randomly. Probably weigh the powers and weaknesses, so that you either get a few strong ones or a lot of weaker ones.

So for example you might end up with a vampire that sparkles in sunlight (Twilight), but his powers are transforming into a giant firefly (Ewe myth) and sucking the fetuses out of pregnant women (Manananggal myth), and as a weakness he can't cross running water, hates garlic, and has to eat nail clippings (Betsileo myth).

In most cultures though vampires are more like what we now know as ghouls - mindless walking corpses that wake from their graves at night to feed on both dead and living.

Oh shit, I never got into buffy, couldn't make it through the first season, but I might try the comic.

There's the Manananggal; basically it can separate its torso from its legs and fly around at night. It feeds on the hearts and livers of fetuses using a really long tongue. To kill it, you have to find its legs and rub salt and garlic on that part of the waist so it can't reconnect in the morning.
