Immortal Vampires is a larger classification because everyone receives the Dark Gift differently. There are roughly around thirty-six different recorded types well documented. Here are the four most common vampire types which cover the vast majority.

» Bat Vampires - Homo-Wampyrus Chiroptera These vampires are the rarest of the vampires because they are the bat vampires. Their population is mostly concentrated in China/India but can also be found in Africa, New Zealand and South America. These vampires appear to be very human other then a slightly pointy pair of ears and sometimes with an elongated jaw. They socially mix well with humans but hate to be around crowds. These are the most sensitive to sunlight, they experience blisters and pain after a short time in the sun. They are the only vampires capable of the shape shifting feature and can even change into vampire bats. They are able to do this depending on certain factors such as racial origin, length of time as a vampire and even the right food.

» Noble Vampires - Homo-Wampyrus Draco This is the most well known of the vampire types. Made famous by Bram Stroker, they are more like Counts and considered the Noble Vampires. They are found well documented world wide. They are everywhere with the majority in places like North America, Britain and Western Europe. They are extremely human in appearance except for their retractable canine teeth in their upper jaws that are hardly noticeable. They have medium to poor tolerance to sunlight and may perish in a couple of hours of direct sunlight. They are very social with humans and often take jobs as night watchmen and club bouncers. They often gain their bl**d through willing donors who think that they are mortal bl**d drinkers. Some take pleasure in taking bl**d by force due to the fear factor and the release of adrenaline in the bl**d making it sweeter. It is these vicious vampires that have made movies like "The Lost Boys" "Blade (Vampire Hunter) franchise," and many others. They have also put into the heads of humans that it is "cool" to be a vampire.

» Nosferatu/Deformed Vampires - Homo-Wampyrus Nosferatu They are often referred to as the deformed vampires. They were given their name after the 1922 movie "Nosferatu." They are less common then the Noble Vampire (Wampyrus Draco) but are surprisingly numerous. Their change into a vampire is not an easy one. The individuals' immune system has fought the virus and the virus is forced to mutate in order to survive. The end result is a twisted and disfigured vampire. Common Nosferatu Features Usually a high domed head that is bald with a visible network of livid veins.

Face is long, thin, drawn and has deep creases.

Eyes are sunken in the face.

Ears are large and pointy or membranous.

Nose is upwards and revealing the nostrils.

Hands have long tapered fingers often with an extra joint with sharp.

Discolored nails.

Hunched back/twisted spines (to straighten their back causes extreme pain).

Extremely/ghostly pale. All of these abnormalities are the reason why they are so anti-social with both humans and vampires. They obtain bl**d through stealth from sleeping humans, small children or even from farm animals. They are everywhere with large concentrations in Africa, South Africa, The Caribbean and Japan. It has been speculated that the Puerto Rican Chupacabras, Goat Suckers, are excessively deformed Nosferatu vampires. They are moderately sensitive to sunlight and can tolerate it for hours at a time on a dull day. They can perform certain shape changes but they vary from case to case.
