Homebrew Twilight vampire Species Details

These are vampires. But like, twilight vampires. 

Twilight vampires are impossibly fast, pale white and ice cold.

They are very strong, they can climb and jump, and some have special powers.

In the sunlight they sparkle like diamonds. They can only be killed by ripping them apart and burning the pieces. All it takes is a bite to turn someone into a vampire. 

New born vampires are extremely strong, and have very little self control.

For example, the text of the Cure wounds spell specifies that the spell doesn’t work on a creature that has the Construct type.
