A vampire is created when a person ingests vampire blood, but the transformation is not complete until they feed on human blood.<ref name="one20">[[1.20 Dead Man's Blood]]</ref><ref name="six05">[[6.05 Live Free or Twihard]]</ref> Once turned, they suffer from [[Bloodlust (Pad of Definitions)|bloodlust]] and must feed on blood, human or animal, to survive.<ref name="two03">[[2.03 Bloodlust]]</ref> In rare cases, the transformation results in bloodshot eyes as seen with [[Gordon Walker]] and [[Alex Jones]]<ref name="three07">[[3.07 Fresh Blood]]</ref><ref name="nine19">[[9.19 Alex Annie Alexis Ann]]</ref>. Unlike folkloric vampires, they do not require an invitation to enter a home and are not killed by sunlight, however prolonged exposure to sunlight can be painful. They also prefer to live in packs in locations called nests, and will mate for life.<ref name="one20"/> After death, like all monsters, vampire [[souls]] go to [[Purgatory]].<ref name="six07">[[6.07 Family Matters]]</ref>
A vampire must feed on blood to survive — preferably human blood — although they can subsist on animal blood.<ref name="two03"/> Some vampires, such as those formerly led by [[Sheriff Len Cuse]], also devour organs and flesh, as part of a new age philosophy related to not wasting any part of the kill.<ref>[[10.08 Hibbing 911]]</ref>
