Vampire

Contrary to popular belief, monsters are not all alike. Like people, individual members of the same species can each have their own unique traits, preferences and weaknesses. A good example of this is the many species of vampires, some very different from the others, and only connected by their mandatory diet: fresh blood. Vampires are often referred as of the lower or higher variant. There seem to be some disagreement in the academic world as to what makes a vampire belong to either category. Most scholar qualifies a vampire of higher ascendancy when they show the ability to shapechange into a humanoid, but other base their assumption on their intelligence and capacity to use magical abilities. Other deny entirely the aforementioned classifications and state that higher vampires are an entirely different species, immortal and human looking.

Blood Addiction

When a vampire loses control of itself because of its Blood Addiction weakness the vampire enters a state called blood frenzy. In order to control itself near a source of blood, the vampire must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, on a failed save it loses control and enters blood frenzy. The blood frenzy ends when the vampire use its bite attack successfully and inflicts necrotic damage to a target, unless noted otherwise in its individual description. If a vampire's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the vampire is immune to the blood frenzy for the next 24 hours. While under the blood frenzy the vampire gains the following:

• The vampire shapeshifts back to its vampire form and cannot use its shapechanger feature until the frenzy ends.
• The vampire has advantage on melee weapon attack rolls, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the frenzy ends.
• The vampire cannot use its Innate Spellcasting or Spellcasting feature until the frenzy ends.
• The vampire becomes immune to the charmed and frightened condition until the frenzy ends.

Alp

Few other monster inspires so many myths and fallacies as the alp. Folktales describe their charms and their beautiful, seductive voices, as well as their loathing of virgins. What is true beyond any doubt is that they move without a sound and attack by surprise, rarely giving their victims as much as a chance to scream in terror.

Blood Addict. As higher vampires, alps, or alpor as they are also called, don't need blood to survive but are extremely addicted to it. Of all the higher vampires, alp are the weakest when it comes to controlling their darkest urges. They lack the restrain and manipulative skills of the bruxa or the cunning edge of the katakan, making it very difficult for them to hide in the midst of civilization. To indulge in their addiction alps rely mostly on the poor judgement or social isolation of their prey, hunting lonely men, drunkards or notorious perverts.

She-Devil. Alps, just like bruxae, are womanoid, exclusively appearing as female creatures. They have the power to change into a beautiful female humanoid, often an elf, and for this reason they are commonly mistaken for succubi, people believing them to be lecherous and inclined to seduce handsome young men. Some even pretend they are able to turn into a black dog or a venomous toad, but this is pure nonsense.

Home Invader. If cornered, alps are more than capable fighters, their natural magical abilities allow them to daze and feed on their prey easily and their hands end in dangerous claws. Truthfully though, alps prefer to attack unconscious victims. They will sneak into bedrooms at night, draining the blood of the sleeper and leave before dawn. The alp will then return the following nights to feed again on the same victim, until it's caught or the victim dies. For some unknown reason, alps seem to develop a mystical connection with their sleeping victims, having a hard time to let them go. This weakness can be used against the alp, for it makes its behavior somewhat predictable.

Between Beasts and Men. Alps are ambiguous vampires, they cannot stand to be too far from humanity, as they need to satisfy their blood addiction, nor can they hide directly among men, due to their lack of control. Therefor an alp is reduced to share the same refuges and lairs than lesser vampires, lurking between the world of men and beasts. To the contrary of lesser vampires, alps do care for confort and will build their lair accordingly, garnishing it with furniture and accommodations, even art sometime.

Optional: Dream Haunting

A living humanoid bitten by an alp vampire while asleep is under the effect of the alp's curse. While under the curse the creature will receive vivid erotic dreams about a beautiful elven woman during its rest, lusting over her even while awake. A creature under the effect of the curse has small, red marks on its scalp. The curse is lifted if the alp dies or a remove curse spell is casted on the creature.

• Each time the creature takes a long rest it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, with disadvantage if the alp bit it that night, or gain a level of exhaustion and gain no benefits from its long rest.
• While the creature is under the effect of the curse, the alp that bit it gains a supernatural sense, allowing it to knows the distance to and direction of the creature, unless the two of them are on different planes of existence. If the creature dies, the alp knows.
