Vârcolac

## Origin

The Varcolac (also known as Vircolac, Varcolaci (plural) is a creature present in Romanian folklore, mainly in the Transylvania region. It is usually portrayed as a Vampire-Werewolf hybrid and has been portrayed as a demon, ghost and even as a dragon, but the concept means **Werewolf** in etymology

A Varcolac appears when there is some deviation from the order established by a community. Some examples are: **the death of a baby that was not previously baptized, a person who commits suicide, the death of children generated by unofficial marriages, etc**. This condition can also be hereditary (much like lycanthropy), being transmitted from generation to generation. To prevent a corpse from becoming a Varcolac , they must first be fully immersed in running water as soon as possible after death.

During the day, the Varcolac resembles humans and behaves like any other normal person. In human form, the creature has pale skin , dry, dark hair, and fierce, deep-set eyes (whether these eyes have a specific color or have a tendency to glow in the dark is unknown). He is an extremely powerful monster who takes pleasure in killing and drinking fresh human blood. Like most vampires, the Varcolac is a nocturnal hunter and usually feeds at night, however it prefers to hunt in its astral form, which is invisible to human eyes.

In this form, the Varcolac prefers to use trickery combined with its incredible speed, than recklessly attacking your target with your formidable strength. Traveling in its astral body (which, when viewed, is described as resembling a dragon or a monster with many mouths), **the** **Varcolac can move as fast as the wind along the astral lines invisible**, and legends also say that **he is so powerful and so strong that he can cause an eclipse (whether lunar or solar in nature).**

According to legend, the Varcolac does this in order to whether **feed on the moon's blood or devour the moon itself**, According to tradition, during an eclipse, the population beats pots, shoots firearms and rings church bells to scare the Varcolac away. Usually, the moon defeats the creature with its superior strength. If the moon were truly devoured, the world would come to an end. **A popular belief holds that God commands Varcolac to devour the moon in order to make his people repent of their sins.**
