'''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.

Prior to [[0.12]], vampires had the [[Vampire Summon]] spell, a monsters-only version of [[Summon Small Mammals]] that could potentially produce [[orange rat]]s.
In [[0.12]] their Vampire Summon spell will be removed, and replaced with a monster version of [[Vampiric Draining]], making them less annoying in general but more dangerous in melee.
