Changes: Vampire

Revision as of 11:19, 27 June 2018

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 few 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: Reanimated by other vampires' race traits. They are rather similar to zombies in that they 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 characteristics of vampires. Shalltear summoned some of them by her skill.

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, including powerful muscles and fast regeneration. As undead creatures, they are effectively immortal. Noted for their longevity and taste for blood, they are considered deadly heteromorphic monsters.

Basic Vampire Race Traits

Fast Regeneration
Evileye of Temptation
Life Absorption
Create Lesser Race by Bloodsucking
Weapon Resistance
Ice-type Damage Resistance

Weaknesses

Despite their staggering advantages over humans, vampires are not always invincible and can be slain through a number of means.

Basic Vampire Race Weaknesses

Slow movement penalty during Sunlight
Vulnerability to Silver weapons (only lesser vampires)
Added damage by Positive Energy

Trivia

The official manga divides the main vampire hierarchy into three categories: Vampire, Origin Vampire and True Vampire.
In the Web Novel, a Vampire's basic difficulty rank is 60, which is equal to upper A-class (almost A+). However, it is said that A-class adventurers can be confident of victory, while B-class adventurers might be able to win with appropriate preparation.
Most Vampires could only create unintelligent Lesser Vampires, but the Vampires which Shalltear could make had nearly as much intelligence as a normal Human.
