### Affiliation

Their Respective Species

**Alphas** are the first monsters of each species created by Eve.

## Characteristics

The Alphas are the children of Eve and the first of their respective species. As the first and oldest, they are also the most powerful monsters and are regarded as the parent of their respective race, since they were the ones who began populating each monster race once Eve had created them. According to Samuel Campbell, there is a ton of lore about the alphas, but until their emergence when Crowley started hunting for Purgatory, they were thought to be a myth.

Due to their close ties to Eve, the Alphas are aware of Purgatory and the location of Purgatory's gateway, as well as the existence of Leviathans, their ancestors.

Due to their age and power, they possess very few weaknesses, often being immune to or less affected by major weaknesses that hold true for their respective species.

## Powers and Abilities

As the creators of their specific species, each of them are much more powerful because of literally being the first of their kind.

* **Telepathic Link** - They possess a telepathic link to their children, allowing them to track or communicate with them over great distance. They can also learn knowledge their children possess.
* **Super Strength** - As the eldest, purest, and most endowed of their respective breeds, alphas possess far superior strength than any common member of their species. The strongest of them are at least stronger than a common demon or at most powerful enough to push a Leviathan away for a few moments though they are not strong enough to beat a Leviathan on their own. The Alpha Shapeshifter demonstrated strength great enough to rip an iron door off of its hinges with ease and the Alpha Vampire, along with holding his own momentarily against a Leviathan, was often seen throwing hunters around with just one hand when fighting them.
* **Super Stamina** - Their durability and pain thresholds are far superior to the rest of their species.
* **Immunity** - Alphas are more resistant to certain weapons that harm lesser members of their races. For example, the Alpha Shapeshifter is immune to silver and the Alpha Vampire demonstrated a high degree of resilience to dead man's blood though massive amounts weakened him enough for three demons to overpower him. Additionally, the Alpha Shapeshifter was only briefly slowed down by massive amounts of tranquilizer and quickly recovered.
* **Immortality** - Even if their species is not immortal, the alpha is, provided they are not killed. This is supported by the fact that while shapeshifters are not immortal, the Alpha Shapeshifter did not die until recently, when he was beheaded by Crowley, despite having been alive the last time Eve, the Mother of All, walked the Earth when all alphas were created.
* **Invulnerability** - Silver and powerful tranquilizers caused no harm to the Alpha Shapeshifter with only the rare metal iridium causing any harm to him. In the case of the Alpha Vampire, he withstood electrocution without an issue, even mocking his torturer and a weapon that could easily kill lesser vampires was noted to only be able to *maybe* be able to hurt him. The only confirmed methods of killing an Alpha are decapitation and the Colt as seen with the Alpha Shapeshifter and the Alpha Vampire respectively.
* **High Endurance** - The Alpha Vampire was not even phased by being electrocuted and the Alpha Shapeshifter withstood Crowley's torture without much trouble.
* **Enhanced Abilities** - All skills that are owned by their offspring are owned by alphas on a considerably higher level.

## Weaknesses

* **The Colt** - It can kill all but five things in all of Creation including the Alphas as seen with the death of the Alpha Vampire.
* **Leviathans** - They can kill any kind of monster, including the Alphas.
* **Eve** - As their mother, Eve can kill Alphas.
* **Horde of Demons** - A group of three black-eyed demons was able to capture a badly weakened Alpha vampire.
* **Decapitation** - Used by Crowley to kill the Alpha Shapeshifter. As a vampire, the Alpha Vampire was vulnerable to this weakness as well.
