==Summary==
Bruxa is a very powerful type of vampire that takes on the appearance of a black-haired, young human, most often woman, but whose natural form is that of a large, black bat with sharp fangs and claws. It is one of few vampire species resistant to the sun, the others being alps, mulas and higher vampires.

<tabber>
|-|Abilities=Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Natural Weaponry (Claws, Teeth), Acrobatics (Bruxas, and overall vampires, are more agile than even Witchers, and can leap great distances), Sound Manipulation/Vibration Manipulation (Their most notable attack is a sonic cry that can stun or even gravely damage their prey), Status Effect Inducement (Their claws cause severe blood loss upon impact, their sonic cry can deafen/blind their prey), Enhanced Senses (Vampires have comparable senses to those of a witcher's), Dream Manipulation and Limited Mind Manipulation (Their singing can alter men's dreams and bend them to their will), Immortality (Types 1, 2 and 3; vampires naturally live forever, are unaffected by injuries that would be fatal to a normal person and can regenerate from said wounds quickly), Regeneration (Low-Mid, each vampire has regeneration superior to that of a witcher's), Invisibility (Here), Body Control (Bruxa's The Witcher 2 journal states that they "have masterful control over their blood circulation", rendering poisons and oils ineffective against them), Self-Sustenance (even Lesser Vampires are known to rest and go without blood for centuries, and many sentient vampires have no need of blood whatsoever, and either only drink it recreationally {such as the Bruxa Orianna} or avoid it altogether), Telepathy (Capable of telepathically communicating with others, even those that lack similar telepathic abilities), Shapeshifting (Able to take on form of a human. Vereena, a bruxa encountered by Geralt in the books, was able to turn into a giant bat)
|-|Resistances=Resistance to Enhanced Senses, Extrasensory Perception, and Clairvoyance (Cannot be detected by witcher medallions or master level detecting spells. Even Geralt had trouble tracking down one of them in combat), Fear Manipulation (Immune to the "Fear" ability in The Witcher 1), Poison Manipulation (Are also resistant to poison in The Witcher 2)

Attack Potency: Building level+ (Roughly comparable to Wolf School witchers in physical strength, are some of the strongest vampires in the Witcher universe. One Bruxa, Vereena, could even weaken Geralt's Quen Sign and badly injure him, with other Bruxae encountered in the series also being capable of breaking his Quen Sign. The higher species of Vampires, such as Bruxae, Alps, and Higher Vampires, are considered to be some of, if not the physically strongest monsters in the series, with even weaker vampires such as Fleders being comparable or superior to Fiends)
Speed: Subsonic movement speed with Massively Hypersonic+ combat and reaction speed (Are consistently shown to be faster physically than witchers and being able to sometimes blitz them)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5, likely Class 25 (Comparable to witchers in physical strength, as they can grapple with them, toe to toe. Orianna was able to hurl a cart at Geralt hard enough to almost catch him off-guard)
Striking Strength: Building level+ (Can equally exchange blows with witchers like Geralt)
Durability: Building level+ (Comparable to their attack potency, can take strikes from similarily strong opponents like witchers)
Stamina: Immensely high. Vampires in general have near endless stamina and their regeneration makes them near impossible to ever tire out in a fight.
Range: Extended melee range with their claws. 4-5 meters with their sonic cry. Hundreds of meters with singing.
Standard Equipment: None notable.
Intelligence: At least Average, can blend into human society and learn human language. Many have lived for centuries amidst civilization, and are cultured and well-educated as a result.
Weaknesses: Vulnerable to fire. Weak to silver weaponry.
