Spider Climb. The vampire can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Multiattack. The vampire makes two attacks with its strings of death.
Strings of Death. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 60 ft., one target. Hit: 32 (5d8 + 7) slashing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 11 (1d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage. Instead of dealing damage, the vampire can grapple the target (escape DC 21).
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by the vampire, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 10 (1d6 + 7) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. A humanoid slain in this way and then buried in the ground rises the following night as a [monster]vampire.
Puppeteer (7/Long Rest): A humanoid target within range of the vampire's strings of death must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or the vampire's strings of death enter the target's body, wrapping around the target throughout its limbs, and attaching to the target's heart, and is now under the vampire's control. An unwilling humanoid creature is considered paralyzed while it isn't acting out a command. An unwilling humanoid creature does not take damage from the vampire's strings of death. A restrained humanoid can repeat its saving throw at the end of its turn, breaking free on a success or the vampire spends a bonus action to end the effect. On a failed save the restrained humanoid takes 40 [rollable](10d6) slashing damage as the strings of death rip the restrained humanoid's body open, or half as much on a success. While the vampire's strings are attached to a humanoid creature the vampire can do the following:
Control Puppet. As a bonus action on the vampire's turn it can make a humanoid creature attached to its string to move up to its speed, attack a creature, or cast a single cantrip or spell or use an object.
Enhance Reflexes. As a bonus action the vampire can give the humanoid creature advantage on dexterity saving throw until the end of the vampire's next turn.

On a fail, the target is restrained by the vampire. A restrained target can repeat its saving throw at the end of its turn, breaking free on a success or the vampire spends a bonus action to end the effect. On a success the target is not restrained.
Parry. The vampire adds 5 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the vampire must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.
