Dhampir

A Dhampir (sometimes spelled dhampyre, dhamphir, or dhampyr) is a creature that is the result of a union between a vampire and a human. This union was usually between male vampires and female humans, with stories of female vampires mating with male humans being rare. However, any Dhampir that is found alive will be sentenced to death, ever since what happened with Agatha millions of years ago.
== Etymology ==
The word Dhampir possibly derives from the words dham, Albanian Gheg variant of dhëmb (“tooth”) + pir, participle of pi (“to drink”), literally meaning 'that who drinks through his/her teeth'. It is also thought that word for vampire descends from Slavic "упирь" or "ǫpyrь".
== Origin ==
It was believed that male vampires have a great desire for women, so a vampire will return to have intercourse with his wife or with a woman he was attracted to in life. Vampires were sometimes said to deflower virgins as well.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Dhampirs were, for the most part, normal members of the community. But Dhampirs, especially male, of paternal vampire descent could see invisible vampires and practice sorcery, often starting careers as vampire hunters, which would be practiced for generations from father to son.
Despite this, Dhampirs have some powers of regular vampires, of course not as strong as them nor all, but enough to be considered a regular Vampire, which is why Dhampirs cannot be recognized easily.
