This article deals with vampires in folklore and legends, as well as giving a general overview. For treatments of the vampire legend in fiction, see vampire literature. For the real bats that subsist on blood, see vampire bat. For other uses of the term vampire, see Vampire (disambiguation). Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings that are renowned for subsisting on human blood or lifeforce, but in some cases may prey on animals. Although vampires have different characteristics depending on which lore one reads, in most cases, they are described as reanimated corpses who feed by draining and consuming the blood of living beings.
