This is a very interesting discussion, and we should clarify everything and put a definitive end to it: 1. Vampires and ghouls – are they undead or a caste of the cursed (by the way, they are the most beloved creatures in the fantasy world)? 2. Vampires are divided into: - Living - Undead - Ancient 2.1. Living vampires walk around in broad daylight and look like ordinary people, although they drink blood, and they can be paralyzed by driving a stake through their heart, which disrupts their energy center. Or, you can make sure all their blood is drained, after which they become undead vampires. 2.2. Undead vampires are killed by beheading (sticking the severed head with garlic) and sunlight. 2.3. Ancient vampires drink the blood of vampires. Undead vampires have a functioning brain and heart; if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to drink blood... And yes, in almost all movies, undead vampires are mentioned, but I once saw a movie with living vampires (I don't remember the name, it was a long time ago, about 8-10 years, something like "Vampire Textbook"), and there were also undead ones... Nimizida explained all this; we had a discussion on the topic of fantasy 2 years ago, and he found this information on the internet in a library of fantastic creatures. Of course, I might have missed something, and maybe Nimizida would have explained it better, but he's not here right now. As for the strength of vampires in Heroes and the fantasy world, they are balanced correctly. A vampire is not stronger than a Black Knight or a Lich; think about it: a Black Knight can be killed by destroying his armor, and a Lich is protected by magic; a vampire cannot cope with that. I hope this closes the discussion.
