Vampires are undead immortals who feed on the life essence of living creatures, usually the blood of Humans. Vampires are created when a Human is bitten and fed on to the point of death, at which point the Vampire offers its own blood for the Human to willinglly drink before dying from complete blood loss. The corpse then rises as a Vampire a few moments later.
