[edit] 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. When Heavy Units like Parson or promoted Hobgobwins tried to ride Dwagons, they weighed them down so they couldn't fly; it's possible that Don King and Al Frappacino are Heavy units and that this precludes flight for them. Their physical builds could indicate this, in an example of natural Signamancy, as they are the same sort of round potato-shape as Parson and Twolls.
They may have a special ability to produce blood from a Unit, as there has been no other blood in Erfworld.
May have dance fighting as a special ability.
[edit] Real World References
Vampires in most fiction are required to drink human blood to sate a "hunger". Transylvito Vampires do not have this weakness.
