Ichor
Ichor is also a rarely-used name for
bile; the name for the yellowish-green colour of bile; and a general term for a watery or blood-tinged discharge.In
Greek mythology, ichor (Greek ) is the
mineral that is the Greek gods'
blood, sometimes said to have been present in
ambrosia or nectar. When a god was injured and bled, the ichor made his or her blood
poisonous to mortals. Ichor has also been used to mean the blood in a
vampire's veins. Whereas many
vampire stories and movies describe them as having reddish or dark red blood, others describe
vampire blood as being different from human blood altogether - an ichor that is traditionally dark green in color.
