Wild Vampires

Wild Vampires are creatures that live in the forests and caves of Kasmara, they can be found around the continent although they are quite rare in the desert. In the northern regions they hibernate, they're active all year round in the south. They usually ambush their pray to suck their blood, and they rarely kill their victim. They will only be really agressive when they're cornered and have no other choice to fight. To catch their pray they usually hang upside down from trees and just wait until something comes by, they can be waiting there for months on end and people often don't see a Vampire attack coming. Their hearing is exellent and sneaking up on them is not possible. Wild Vampires are known to steal shiny objects from people and it's not uncommon to find them around mines, not only because they want to sheek shelter there but they also want to get some loot from there. They are sometimes seen wearing those items in their fur. Wild Vampires are bulky and they closely resemble bats, although they're unable to fly and don't have wings. They are between 210cm and 245cm tall and their heads are incredibly bulky. Their most prominent features are their claws, horns and massive ears. They have beards and some of them have fur all around their body. You don't neccisarily need a wooded stake to the heart to kill them, you still can ofcourse just like every other monster but a normal sword will do just fine. They don't care about people and can be found close to settlements, they're mostly active at night.
