Nosferati

Nosferati were seclusive vampires who are only known to the Empire primarily through the first hand account of Roland Hightower, legends, and archeological finds. From those discoveries, it seems that these creatures were feared, even by many Vladacians, for their cunning and how difficult it is to kill and keep them dead.

Biology & Appearance
Nosferati were humanoid vampires with hunched backs, and rodent-like features. They stood anywhere from four to five feet tall and possessed two, long fangs protruded from the top center incisors.

Society & Culture
The evidence suggests that it was rare for more than two or three Nosferati to ever be within the same 5 mil radius. Those that did live close to each other were part of a family unit. It's unknown if the Nosferati were able to reproduce sexually or only by vampiric-siring or both, but it does seem that they were able to form families.

Superior Strength
Based on the account of Roland Hightower, Nosferati were extremely strong. They possessed enough strength to shread normal steel and crush rock with their hands.
