Monsters/Undead Monsters

Undead monsters tend to have slightly longer lifespans than most monsters [1]. They also need to sleep or rest despite their nature [2]. Undead monsters are also capable of eating ghost food, even if they are not incorporeal [21].

For the purposes of this guide, transitioned ghosts are not classified as undead [18].

### Banshees

**Known Monsters:** Etney Guthmarbh [3]

Provided they are not too decomposed-looking, they can pass for human [4].

A banshee's scream only kills at close range and with proper killing intent. Outside these conditions, it only functions as a noise of the same volume. At long range, it sounds frightening [20].

### Dullahan

These headless humanoid monsters are the offspring of poltergeists who possessed headless corpses. They retain the ability to smell, hear, and to a lesser degree, see. Lacking a mouth, they communicate through sign language [5].

### Draugr

These come about through a very determined viking becoming a poltergeist and quickly possessing their corpse. Over time they will become a monster [6].

### Ghouls

Much like banshees, provided they don't look decomposed, they can pass for human.

### Liches

**Known Monsters:** Callalied, Chara (formerly)

Liches are poltergeists that have possessed corpses, but have not transitioned to skeleton monsters or zombies yet. Their abilities are similar to that of skeletons.

### Revenants

**Known Monsters:** Chara

Revenants are the result of liches having fully transitioned to monsters [7]. They fall into the category of revenant and either zombie or skeleton depending on the type of corpse they possessed as a poltergeist [8].

### Skeletal Laser Dog

**Known Monsters:** Chiller

They are the closest thing to an artificial gaster blaster in AFAC and any such creature coming to this AU will become one if they stay too long [15]. They do not fire the same type of beam as a standard gaster blaster [22].

### Vampires

**Known Monsters:** Antanasia

Vampires require human blood, but don't need nearly as much as the movies will have you believe, incapable of completely draining a human [10]. They are still capable of eating monster food [17]. They also can't turn humans into vampires by biting them and only take enough to cause mild lethargy after feeding [9]. They usually put you to sleep with a spell and take a sip, just ask for their human friends to donate, or keeping blood bags in the refrigerator [10]. They feed on blood because of the rich supply of magic within [23]. They do take damage in sunlight, and those that survived the Human-Monster War avoided it by saying they had a skin condition. Not all were pale as death [11]. Wizard children of vampires are called damphires, and when a vampire does start killing humans, it's usually other vampires or damphires who hunt them down [12]. Dracula may not be real, but some vampires took on his name for fun [13]. They usually have five fingers. Baby vampires require exclusively blood to survive instead of milk [17].

The idea of vampires turning humans into more vampires came about from vampires passing themselves off as human, getting caught, and their human friends rationalizing their true identity as a vampire having transformed their friend rather than admitting that they never really knew them at all and that killing them to save their soul or subjecting them to violent rituals to "cure" them was the only option [14]. Most vampire hunters think of themselves as a edgy Van Hellsing types [12]. Vampires do have reflections and interestingly, should they turn invisible, they retain their shadow [19].

Interestingly unlike human perception, werewolves and vampires have historically been allies, especially in the United States. They likely bonded over shared hardships [16]. No pure vampires survived under Mt. Ebbot due to the requirement for human blood, with only hybrids with other monsters surviving due to being able to derive sustenance from monster food. True vampires only exist on the Surface [24].

Among Vampires, Twilight is considered "so bad it's good". Morbius on the other hand was not watched and instead memed about by humans and monsters [25].
