=====Other D&D Vampire Strains=====
Whilst [[Ravenloft]] is home to the largest array of vampires and vampire-like monsters, AD&D at least had its share of other vampires to be found in other settings.

The [[Forgotten Realms]] is home to the ''Lhiannan Shee'', an all-female vampire strain created from [[human]], [[elf]] and [[half-elf]] women that specializes in preying on [[bard]]s and artists. It is, quote, "thought to be the undead spirit of a woman who killed herself for the unrequited love of a bard or other artistically talented and desirable, but unobtainable or callous man."

[[Mystara]] is home to both the ''Velya'', an aquatic vampire strain, and to its own distinct strain of [[Nosferatu]], which ironically became the basis of the Ravenloft version in 3e.

The [[Fiend Folio]] introduced the [[Penanggalan]] to generic D&D as a whole.
