I know this list in incomplete and I am working on finding further examples of vampire species outside of games, tv, or film. It's always bugged me that there has never been any sort of definitive list of vampires around the world and when you look it up on the internet your flooded with these rpg sites. I dont pretent to be an expert of vampires though.

And before I forget, I know I did not give a link page to most of them because as I checked wiki to see if the species did have a page I would find that other, off topic things would come up. Such as when you type in Adze you get a type of axe. The creature I am refering to is a sort of vampire in the form of a firefly and lives around tribal shamans or sorceres and will drink anything from blood to coconut water and tree sap.

Also where ever possible I would like to include the countries form of writting. As I added the Kanji (is that right?) character with the Kappa listing and the Greek letter alongside the Vrykolakas.I just dont know them. Vila 10:44, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why I have not listed a country for Azeman

I'm not to sure about this one. I know she's a type of vampire who appears as a normal woman in daylight but at night become a Vampire Bat who prefers to feed from the big toe of her sleeping victim. I'm just unsure of where the myth originated from. I'm told it's from Georgia but I am unable to confirm it. Vila 11:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Doppelsauger Different than Doppelgänger

The Doppelsauger as I understand them to be, are children who drank breast milk after they have been weaned onto solid food but die before reaching adulthood. They were known for attacking their living relatives. For info on the Doppelgänger, see it's page. Vila 08:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reference Notes

I'll add page numbers shortly. Vila 03:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
