Vampire

Vampires (ヴァンパイア) refers to a race of immortals with an affinity for blood and the night.

Types of Vampires
In Overlord, the author seems to set tiers for vampires:

True Vampire: Shalltear's race. Looks like a monstrous undead with very little human qualities. Among the most creepy-looking vampires of YGGDRASIL, true vampires are even uglier than the others. Resembles a lamprey.

Origin Vampire:

Lesser Vampire: Reanimates by other vampires' race traits. They are rather similar to zombie that possess minimum intellect.

Vampire Bride: The only kind of vampire that looks beautiful but deadly yet their combat abilities are low.

Vampiric Beasts: Animals with the characters of vampires. Shalltear summoned some of them by her skill. Vampire Princess: Race of Evileye.
 * Vampire Wolf
 * Elder Vampire Bat
 * Vampire Bat Swarm

Appearance
Most of the vampires in YGGDRASIL are far from the modern 'aristocratic, mysterious race' archetype of vampires. Instead, they look like a horrible mix of bat and human. Shalltear's beautiful appearance is just a result of customization by her creator.

Abilities
Vampires possess numerous special abilities. They have powerful muscles rivaling weapons and fast regeneration. As undead creatures they are effectively immortal. Noted for their longevity and taste for blood, they are considered deadly heteromorphic monsters.
