+*Vampires were removed from the game in [[0.33]].
 *Prior to [[0.27]], vampires were explicitly [[unbreathing]].
 *Prior to [[0.24]], vampires had a hunger clock. Instead of using food like other species, they could drink blood directly from corpses (using '''e''') or bottle the blood into [[potion of blood|potions]] (using '''c''') to drink later. When at least Full, vampires would both heal and hunger quickly but lost all of their undead benefits. When Thirsty or below, they healed and hungered slowly, but could enter Bat Form and their undead traits would gradually assert themselves the closer to Bloodless they became.

Wands and divine abilities may still be used while in bat form. Entering bat form costs 2 MP and provides [[flight]] for the extent of the transformation.
