The 'Neuntoter' vampire was blamed for spreading diseases and plague because it had such a smelly body and was covered in sores.

The 'Dracul' was a vampire corpse which was brought to life by a demon.

The 'Nachzehrer' had some strange habits. It was reputed to sit in its tomb holding one thumb tightly. It always kept one eye open and made loud grunting noises while it devoured its shroud.
