== Description ==
Strigoi are vampires of ordinary people who, based on their bloodline (normally Romany) rise from the grave as physically weak but magically powerful vampires. They appear gaunt and aged, but have red eyes, long fingers with sharp claws at the end, and four long fangs.
== Location ==
Strigoi are often found in living in the homes where they lived in life, solitary and secretive. If they were homeless or travelers, they tend to stay around the place of their death or the graveyard where they are interred.
== Modus Operandi ==
Strigoi simply live to kill and eat human flesh. They act as though they are living, trying to invite people to dinner (or invite themselves) or have other social interactions (which, to anyone who knows their hermit-like nature, seems odd and out of character for them). They are very strange, socially awkward creatures, but they attempt to be slick and flirtatious with their prey. When this (normally) doesn’t work, they turn violent and outright attack their prey, slashing their throats and drinking their blood until dry.
== Neutralization ==
Strigoi can be killed physically, although they will rise again from the dead in 24 hours. The best way to make sure they don’t come back is to cut their heads and hands off, fill the mouth with salt and sew it up, bury their bodies face-up but with their heads and hands face-down, and then drive an oak stake through the coffin, impaling it through their heart and affixing them to the coffin on both top and bottom.
== Story Seed ==
A Romany family is distraught by the actions of their older generation. When twelve-year-old Andrzej Lupescalu dies, the family finds both his paternal and maternal grandparents desecrating his grave. There is a fight, and the paternal grandfather is accidentally killed. The curse of the grandmother seems like a joke to the faithless young family, but they soon find there is more to it when Andrzej and his grandfather begin haunting them at night, carrying off their other children for a great and terrible feast.
