Homebrew Vampire of Zendikar Species Details
The vampires of Zendikar are not undead. Rather, their unique nature comes from the eldritch disease that turns their flesh cold, makes their gray or purple skin feel dead to the touch, and enables them to drain concentrated magical energy from the blood of other living creatures. They are tall and slender, with long, elegant necks and broad shoulders. Bony horns protrude from their shoulders and elbows, often augmented by the layered plays of their armor and clothing, Their canine teeth are slightly elongated, but not enough to protrude between their closed lips.
