Ok, scratch that. I found something in one of my books that says werewolves are living, but that doesn't sayanything about the others. It specifically says, "Werewolves sometimes turn into vampires as they die."
I know. I also found that people in Argentina used to believe that the seventh son would become a werewolf and used to abandon or kill seventh sons until a law was passed that said the president of Argentina is the official godfather of every seventh son.
You're kidding right? Everywhere there's a vampire, there's a werewolf. They are like opposite sides of a coin, only one can kill the other. Some stories even have the two curses coming from the same source.
I'll admit not every story is like that, but there are enough to support the idea.
After a little discussion the other day regarding basilisks, it's come to my attention that a lot of fa/tg/uys don't know much about the background of some of their favorite legendary critters. Fair enough, fair enough, not everybody has time to look into this stuff. So, I thought I'd provide some educational material. I may not be an expert, but God help me I've got a good 60+ books on these topics, so they can stand in when I do not.
We're gonna start with a much maligned creature of the night: the vampire. Truly, this poor revenant has been greatly savaged by the likes of Stephanie Myer and Anne Rice. Most of the following information can be found in a slim but very informative book called "The Darkling: A Treatise on Slavic Vampirism"
Nice. I love one of the ones chosen to have savaged vamps. The amazing creatures of the night. Also, Mina's probably going to leave a few gargoyles in Spectropolis to aid in defense if it should ever be needed.
