'''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.

You may encounter a '''vampire enchanter''' while exploring certain [[vault]]s. These undead spellcasters are much more durable than normal and have a wide variety of irritating and dangerous [[Hexes]]. [[Cold]] and [[magic resistance]] are strongly recommended.

• Scuze me. My friend Burt says you're a vampire hunter. 'zat so?
— Uh yes. Yes it is.
• Well you n'ain't gonna find one round here, mate. They ain't no vampires.
— You don't believe in vampires?
• 'course not!
• But I do believe in con artists. And charletans who like to stir up trouble!
• Dead people who get up at night and suck blood. How stupid do you think we are?
• My place is haunted with 16 ghosts and they all say there n'ain't no vampires!
