vampire

A being in folklore who feeds on the blood of living creatures. Notable characteristics include fangs, predatory eyes, pale skin and a bite mark on the neck.

Although typically described as undead, a vampire could be a living person. Popularized in Europe in the 18th century and codified in literature in the 19th as a Western folkloric being distinct from its Slavic(-Turkic) roots.
