Transylvito Vampire

From ErfWiki

Revision as of 00:10, 10 June 2010

Proposed Canon

The vampires of Transylvito are a sentient race of humanoids. Transylvito Vampires appear as Men except that they have red eyes with no sclera or pupil, pointed ears, and light gray skin.

Transylvito vampires:

• Are not vulnerable to sunlight.^Erf-b1-p093 They end turn before night just like everyone else.
• Drink the blood of wildlife, and have at least threatened to drink Humanoid blood.
• Many, but not all, have the Natural Ability of flight^Erf-b1-p139. Don King cannot fly, although this may be an effect of his obesity.
• Can tame Bats found in wild. This allows them to utilize the Bat's Natural Ability of Remote Visual Link
• May store things (inc. Doombats and a casket) in a cape.
• Sleep in caskets at night.
• May give bonuses to Doombats in the same hex
• Are living (i.e. not uncroaked). They are popped, not created by conversion of non-vampires.

Speculation

Some Transylvito Vampires, including Don King, have not been seen to fly, though it may just a result of not needing to do so in the situations they've been seen in. Al Frappacino was not observed to fly, though it isn't entirely clear that he is a vampire.

They may have a special ability to produce blood from a Unit, as there has been no other blood in Erfworld.

Real World References

Vampires in most fiction are required to drink human blood to sate a "hunger". Transylvito Vampires do not have this weakness.
