Vampir

Vampir are fork-tongued, blood-drinking ab-dead humanoids whose abilities are conferred by disease. The condition is also known as Photophobic haemophagy.

Description

Vampir possess superhuman strength and speed, as well as healing and night vision, but are highly vulnerable to sunlight. Exposure to sunlight does not instantly turn them to ash, but weakens them and causes them sustain severe burns.

Cultures

New Crobuzon
Vampire are a source of terror for most humans, such as citizens of New Crobuzon, where the vampir resort to darker and stealthier methods of obtaining their nutrition.
High Cromlech
In High Cromlech, vampir are considered the lowest of the low. The vast majority of High Cromlech's vampir population lives in shantytowns. The vampir are notorious for coming out at night to beg on the streets for blood from the living.
