Mortal Vampires

Since the beginning of time, there have always existed mortals whom have had an obsession with blood drinking for whatever reasons. Some portray themselves as real vampires, some use blood drinking as an excitement or as a sexual enhancement. Some may even be from a particular disease which often causes insanity. This disease is often referred to as “Renfield’s Syndrome” which is also as you guessed, a character from Dracula who is a Zoophagous, meaning a “life-eater.”

Vampires typically have the smell of death. They have also been described as smelling like a barnyard. Vampires are normally considered to be very pale. 

Different countries have different vampire legends and different names for their version of the vampire. One of the most distinguishing characteristics is a vampires tongue. A polish vampire has a barbed tongue. A jet black tongue would indicate a vampire from India. A vampire from the Philippines will have a hollow tongue.

Vampires are usually thought to drink their victim’s blood. Traditionally, this was done by biting or piercing the chest of the victim. Original vampire lore says vampires used sharp pointy tongues to draw blood from the chest. Vampires were also believed to strangle or smother their victims and even spread sickness and disease with their presence.

Some believe that vampires originated in the Nile Region; however, Slavic vampires are the first well documented vampires. Vampiric beings have been incorporated in literature and legends since history has been documented.

Vampires are considered to be hydrophobic. The theory is that water is the most pure entity and therefore vampires are unable to swim or even to cross the water because of their demonic nature.
