Feral vampyre

Vampyres are dangerous creatures found in the Haunted Woods east of Canifis and near the Abandoned Mine. They are aggressive, and will attack anyone. They appear to be an alternate form of the vampyres that inhabit the Sanguinesti region. They will occasionally bite players' necks, which can sometimes drain combat stats and non combat stats and will cause the vampire to recover a small amount of life points.

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

Hunting and rewards
The main reason to hunt vampyres is their relatively high life points and consistently aggressive nature, which ensures good experience per hour, since a player will rarely run out of vampires to fight. However, the player must have a sufficient defence level and/or healing items to avoid dying. A holy Symbol greatly helps when fighting vampyres, as it weakens the vampyres' accuracy and damage.

Vampyres offer mediocre to decent treasure rewards, depending on the price of vampyre dust. Before the discovery of Summoning, vampyre 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 levelling up the skill would buy the dust at high prices.

A good spot to kill vampyres is the south-east corner of the woods, just outside the wall gate of Port Phasmatys. Using a cannon in this area would be useful because there are many safe spots, which include the huge mushrooms and trees, where player may hide and not receive damage. The level 72 vampyres spawn when a player nears any of the non-attackable spiders in the Haunted Woods. Players can take advantage of this to cause numerous vampyres to spawn.

Players hunting vampires for Slayer tasks should hunt the vampyres at the Haunted Mine, due to the presence of leeches in the Haunted Woods which can be frustrating to deal with when trying to finish a task quickly.

Trivia

 * There is a graphical glitch that the inside of the upper arms is attached to the body. It is especially noticeable during its attack animation. Though, this could be a sort of wing.
 * Revenant vampires weren't updated during the 17 August graphical update, while normal vampyres were.
 * The different levels of vampyre each have different sounds when attacking, but they all have the same sound when attempting to bite you.
 * They appear to wear a damaged version of a Vampyre Juvinate's outfit.
 * Vampyres used to be called vampires, but this was changed on 31 August 2011 for an unknown reason.
