Vampires are well known for feeding upon human blood with their unusually long fangs. These nocturnal beings considered to be immortal can die without regular blood consumption.
Their superhuman agility and senses can be tackled with their intolerance against Christian cross, holy water, garlic.etc. The only thing that can kill these beasts is sunlight or weapons made of silver, like bullets or daggers.
