Sex is possible and enjoyable between various species, and there is at some level a desire for it. Vampires can hold their breath for an extremely long time, but do pant with exertion and so apparently do need to breathe (the first film also implies that they can drown). Vampires will not die without blood, but become extremely weak for lack of it. Vampires must eat often (like every day or two), and when feeding on a human they must infect or kill, but blood of any kind, including that of livestock, is perfectly fine (though human blood tastes best). Underworld: Vampires sleep mainly to heal or recover strength it doesn't seem to be a requisite to sleep during the day. Intimate relations between vampires and mortals is completely possible (it's a major subplot of the entire series), and generally enjoyable for both sides (maybe with a certain masochism required of the human participant), and both humans and vampires have a general desire for it, but it can never result in offspring no matter the combination of vampire and mortal. Vampires apparently do not need to breathe except to speak. Vampires cannot starve to death, but are weakened by lack of food. This is a workaround to the classic problem of why, if vampires exist and feed on humans, the human race didn't die out centuries ago. To turn a human requires fully draining the victim, giving them some vampire blood, and THEN laying with them in the ground to complete the transformation (just swapping blood won't do it that does, however, produce other effects). Vampires need to feed often, and apparently only some form of human blood (or synthetic substitute) will do, but vampires don't automatically infect their victims if they bite but don't kill them. True Blood: Vampires sleep during the day they experience harmful but not fatal effects by staying awake. Other basic human needs (mainly air, food, sleep and sex) vary by universe: How enjoyable a shower or bath (or dip in the pool) would be is universe-dependent True Blood vamps like it, Twilight vamps can swim really well (and don't have to breathe) but getting wet is usually more necessity than enjoyment, and most other universes don't explore it much. The only reason they would is to clean up and look presentable again after a particularly messy meal, or after burying themselves in the ground to sleep. You also virtually never see a vampire HAVE to bathe for personal hygiene reasons. Other universes set vampires up as being "infected" by something in Underworld it's a virus, it's not real clear in Blade, but vampires in those universes are "alive" at some biological level. However, exactly why they gloss over this depends on the universe in most universes they are just dead, so no beating heart, internal organs inactive, other than blood nothing's really happening in there. Practically speaking, such details are neither good nor FCC-allowed TV, so if they're in a bathroom at all, it's to fix makeup or feed on some young girl they've lured to a bar restroom. You never see a vampire sitting on a toilet for its intended purpose.
However, in virtually all universes, vampires are assumed to process their primary food source - blood - extremely efficiently. The specifics depend completely on the universe, and in most universes the specifics aren't given. In other words, what bodily functions work in vampires and which are suspended? There's been discussions about whether vampires can have an erection or not (obviously in Buffy, they can), and whether they can have babies, but there's a lot more.ĭo vampires digest if they eat? (And if they eat, or even chew and swallow, then that presumes their body works enough to eliminate their food.) Is there any indication they perspire? Do their injuries heal? I know this is almost comical, do they pass gas? And do they actually sleep, or, for classical vampires, are they dead while the sun is up, only to revive after it sets? So the circulatory system works differently than in humans. We know you can stab a vampire in the heart with a knife and it doesn't kill them, but a wooden stake does. What bodily functions work in vampires? I know some limited versions of this have been asked before, but this is overall. (In other words, talking about Buffy is fine, but talking about one episode in, say, The Night Stalker, where vampires showed up only in that episode is pointless.)
#FEMALE VAMPIRE COMBAT MOVIE#
I know there are differences between classical vampires and vampires in various franchises, so I'm open to hearing about the different "groups" of vampires, just not every little TV episode or movie that's been made. After reading this question about vampires being back sleepers, I started wondering if vampires who slept on their back snored, and that led me to wondering about more.
