The Silver Bayonet - Vrykolakas

A subspecies of vampire, only found in a few places in Europe, the vrykolakas look more like a ghoul with wings instead of arms than a traditional vampire. In this way, they are sometimes mistaken for giant bats or werebats. Although vrykolakas drink blood, they also enjoy feasting on the organs of their victims, especially the livers. A group of corpses missing livers is a sure sign of a vrykolakas. It is not unusual for a small group of vrykolakas to serve under powerful vampires.
