Basilisk

Basilisks are ancient beasts of old, and were belived to be extinct. They were created by the Venom Goddess Vespira.
These monstrous serpents were the only known thing in the world who actually preyed upon Vampyres, and as such, were the only things in the world that Vampyres actually feared. This fear was so great, that thousands of years ago, the Vampyres formed large raids to hunt down these monsters, and over the years, effectively hunted them to extinction, thus eliminating the largest threat to their kind. 
Basilisk venom is 100% fatal to Vampyres with even a minimal dose, and is universally fatal to everything else. It is of such a bane to vampyres that even Lady Mileena, one of the oldest and most powerful vampyres in history, died mere seconds after being bitten by a juvenile basilisk. The only known cure was to consume the heart of a Phoenix, but Erykas eventually managed to create an antidote.
