| | |
| A Goblin Vampire is a goblin who has returned from death via the Goblin Vampire [[:category:vampire strain|strain]] of [[vampire|vampirism]].
| |
| | |
| :''(All [[Humanoid | humanoids]] and [[Monstrous Humanoid | monsterous humanoids]] are susceptible to different strains of vampirism, which include that of the basic [[w:Monster Manual | Monster Manual]] vampire, that of the [[Nosferatu]], that of the [[Vrykrolaka]], and that of the [[Chiang-shi]]. There are also additional race-specific strains of vampirism that each target - and cannot be spread outside of - a specific race.)''
| |
| | |
| In the case of goblins, this race-specific vampirism is officially known as a Goblin Vampire, and the strain itself is known as the Goblin Vampire Strain. Hence, the term "Goblin Vampires" refers not to all [[goblin]]s who are [[vampire | vampires]], but only those vampire goblins who specifically have the Goblin Vampire Strain of vampirism.
| |
| | |
| To avoid this confusion, creatures affected by this strain are also called {{Potential-canon-small}} ''goatsuckers''<ref name=Kargatane>[http://fraternityofshadows.com/TheParlor/3rd_author_notes/AN_NotesAndLostProjects.html The Kargatane's "dream" version of the Ravenloft Core Books], shared by John Mangrum</ref>.
| |
| | |
| Most Goblin Vampires are native to [[Tepest]] and created by a curse of [[The Three Hags]].
