Creature Feature

Vampire:

Almost as powerful as their arch-rivals the Warlocks, the Nosferatu also posses very powerful special abilities.  They never arrive via the entrance portal.  Rather, they rise from the dead creature placed in your Graveyard.   As such, you have a certain amount of control as to when they arrive.

Once you have your Graveyard set up and your initial Vampires trained to a higher level, keep at least one of them in your scavenging room and make sure you give them their own Lair near the Graveyard to keep them away from any Warlocks.   Always keep Imps around to drag away the corpses as soon as the smoke clears.   This way,  your undead army  will grow steadily. Also, try not to deploy Vampires before they've reached  level 5 if possible, because at that level that they become effectively immortal, rising from the grave sans one level if killed in combat.

Vampires make the best scavengers, and can increase the scavenger value of any monster in the room by one-half. In a pinch, Vampires can also be used for research, though you should only do this if all your Warlocks have deserted or died.
