Category:Halfling Vampire
A Halfling Vampire is a halfling who has returned from death via the Halfling Vampire strain of vampirism.
- (All humanoids and monsterous humanoids are susceptible to different strains of vampirism, which include that of the basic 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 halflings, this race-specific vampirism is officially known as a Halfling Vampire, and the strain itself is known as the Halfling Vampire Strain. Hence, the term "Halfling Vampires" refers not to all halflings who are vampires, but only those vampire halflings who specifically have the Halfling Vampire Strain of vampirism.
To avoid this confusion, creatures affected by this strain are also called 
wrethfetin[1] or alternatively 
dayerg due. [2]
In Sithicus, these creatures are known as bitterkinder. Though the 3.5 edition Gazetteer IV refrained from using the w:Dragonlance term "kender," it's likely that bitterkinder are actually Kender Vampires, as the Sithican vampires were in 2nd edition products.
