Vampire Spawn
Vampire Spawn
Vampire, CE Medium Undead
Simple Monster, XP 1600
Level 8 (+4)
"To think you would have wasted your life lounging in the lap of luxury, being courted by suitors, attending mindless parties, and being generally useless. Now, you have been given a purpose, my dear. Now you will serve me, much as others have served you."
——Veldran Malkor, a Vampire Lord
The returned thrall of a humanoid slain by a Vampire Lord, it possesses many of the physical strengths and weaknesses of a true vampire, but none of the powers of manipulation and domination that the master does. These abilities are not gifted to a slave, and so a Spawn will usually remain under the control of its master, hunting for food and victims for the Vampire Lord while attempting to sate its own unending hunger. A spawn appears much like it did in life, but unlike a true vampire, it is unable to mask some subtle differences such as the hollowness of its eyes and the deathly pale tone of its skin. A Spawn will hide within the shadows and ambush a solitary victim, if possible. They would prefer not to attack multiple enemies at once, but will do so if starving or desperate.
