Feral vampyre

Vampires are dangerous creatures found in the Haunted Woods east of Canifis and near the Abandoned Mine. They are aggressive, and will attack anyone. They will occasionally bite players' necks, which can sometimes drain combat stats and the Vampire will recover a small amount of hitpoints. They can also be weakened by blessed holy symbols.

Level 66 vampires wear brown shirts, while level 72 vampires wear a very light blue shirt, which against their dead-white skin makes them look shirtless to some players.

A level 77 version can be found in the God Wars Dungeon.

Vampires drop Vampire dust. They are sometimes hunted for this, since it sells typically for about 600-700 coins on the Grand Exchange. Before the discovery of Summoning, vampire dust had no use and most players refused to collect it. The few who did allegedly made some money in the early days of Summoning, when players leveling up the skill would buy the dust at high prices.

Characteristics and History
Vampires are savage beasts closely related to Vampyres, but are considerably less intelligent and are distinguished by their wide grins. Vampires can normally be attacked and killed with any weapon. They were used as warriors by Zamorak since the beginning of God Wars and were used again in large numbers in Misthalin/Morytania conflicts during fourth age. As the threat from Morytania lowered, need for Vampires diminished. Due to their feral nature, Vampires started to reside outside the settlements in Morytania, lurking for possible prey. Vampires seem to avoid undead and thus most of them can be found in Haunted Woods and near the Abandoned Mine possibly due to lack of Ghasts wandering around in Mort Myre.

It is interesting to note that Vampyres angered by Guthix balance potion potion take a form that looks like an enlarged vampire. Unlike vampyres that are vulnerable only to silver weapons, these also become vulnerable to all attacks. This may hint that vampires originate from vampyres who have lost their special powers in one way or another. Or, alternative, that vampyres are created in some manner from vampires and can revert to their earlier form when reacting badly to the potion.
