Reanimated corpse of a wizard, murderer or suicide. After the burial, they leave their graves by turning into a cloud a fog. They are invisible until they attack, but can be seen normally by members of family. Vampires roam the villages at night, strangling their former friends and foes. Occasionally, vampires drain blood from their victims or livestock. Those who eat meat of slain livestock or those who are killed by vampire are doomed to rise as vampires themselves. They can summon plagues and diseases on entire villages. They are repelled and harmed by holy objects, especially crosses. When vampire is slain, butterflies (vampirić; literally, little vampire) fly out of vampire through his mouth. When destroying vampire, it is very important to destroy these butterflies, or they will still cause harm to the living.
