Useful Info

Vampires are undead opponents who focus on nefarious, backhanded attacks to defeat their enemies. If kept alive for too long, they'll flood you with summoned vermin (from the benign bat to the dreaded orange rat) and sneak attack you while invisible. They are uncommonly found in the middle floors of the Dungeon, and are a common sight in the Crypt along with their more advanced brethren.

Spells: Confuse, Invisibility, Vampire Summon (like Summon Small Mammals, but creates 1d3+3 monsters instead of 1d4 and replaces all quokkas with orange rats)

Tips & Tricks

• They aren't very difficult, considering where you meet them. Whack them with a holy weapon or tear them apart with Dispel Undead.
• Don't allow their orange rats to have too many opportunities to chew on you. Nobody likes draining attacks.
