Bazu'aal

**Bazu'aal** is a demon who has possessed a number of people around Wellington. It claims to originate from the "Unholy Realm".

## Biography

In 1885, Bazu'aal possessed a woman in Wellington, performing a human sacrifice, and was subsequently arrested by police.

On 17 November 1951, Bazu'aal possessed a man, spewing gallons of sulfuric acid and performing another human sacrifice, before again being arrested.

Some decades later, Bazu'aal again possessed a girl, spewing acid all over the street. She was brought in by Officers O'Leary and Minogue, and interrogated, but before she could be interrogated by Sergeant Ruawai Maaka, Bazu'aal disappeared, suddenly reappearing and escaping. Returning back to the girl's home, Bazu'aal began possessing her father, Gary, climbing on to the roof. Bazu'aal claimed to recognize the two police officers, but they didn't realise the man was possessed. Leaving the premises as they believed there to be no problem, Bazu'aal began possessing Gary's wife, running into the night. She caught up with their car when they were going 50km/h, easily escaping them. Minogue caught up, but Bazu'aal had possessed a dog, taunting the police officer. He ran into the middle of town, sleeping alongside a tramp on Cuba Street. When a group of police officers, including Minogue and O'Leary, recognised the dog, the demon switched to the tramp, who got a hold of Minogue and attempted to use him as a human sacrifice. However, they seemingly exorcised the tramp, only for Bazu'aal to possess Officer Parker momentarily, unbeknownst to them.

**Bill** is a former superhuman and a member of The Revengers. He appears in *Wellington Paranormal*.

## Biography

Bill lives in Naenae, Wellington, working as an electrician under the business name "Electricity Bill" and is a member of the Neighbourhood Watch. In 2021, a meteorite crashed into his road while he was working on his fuse box. He received an electrical surge that left him unharmed. He later realised he had gained the power to control electricity due to the radiation coming from the meteorite. He adopted the name "Power Man Bill" and decided to join a vigilante group called The Revengers with fellow superhuman Watch members Molly and “Google Girl”. They used their new powers to take down petty criminals in the area.

The Revengers eventually encountered the Wellington Police Paranormal Unit, but were not defeated until another superhuman, George, sprayed water from his hands at Bill and he fought back with his electrical powers. The clash caused a shockwave that knocked out all the superhumans and erased their powers.

Possessed doll

The **possessed doll** was a gift that became dangerous and hostile on Christmas Eve. It appeared in *Wellington Paranormal*.

## History

The doll was gifted to a member of an unnamed family of four in Wellington. On the evening of Christmas Eve 2019, the doll broke out of its wrapping, claiming to be possessed by a murderer, and tried to attack the family. They fled outside and called the police. Officers Minogue and O’Leary arrived, entered the house and were ambushed by the doll, which armed itself with a knife. The officers fought back with the family’s other Christmas presents, with O’Leary eventually neutralising it with a cricket bat.

Later, Minogue entered a void via a vortex during another call and found Officer Fuzzypants, Sergeant Maaka’s missing childhood bear. Minogue gifted it to Maaka for his Secret Santa present, but when he wasn’t looking, the bear moved by itself, indicating that it may be possessed by the same entity that took the doll.

In 2021, Constable Parker encountered a shapeshifter who transformed into his worst fears and briefly turned into the doll.

Nadja & Laszlo

**Nadja & Laszlo** is the stage name of the musical duo consisting of Nadja and Laszlo Cravensworth. They appear in *What We Do in the Shadows* (TV series).

## History

Laszlo Cravensworth is a gifted multi-instrumentalist, having shown skill at playing the organ, pungi, balalaika, saxophone and accordion. He composed several songs during the 18th and 19th century, many of which were unfortunately covered or plagiarized by other artists to far greater commercial success. When he met Nadja, who previously worked as a throat singer, the two formed a musical act and she worked as a lyricist and singer. They recorded at least one album, *Nadja & Laszlo Sing Songs of Love and Terror*, but stopped collaborating due to arguments over their musical differences.

In 2020, Laszlo finally discovered that his song, *Chum on Irene*, was plagiarized by Dexys Midnight Runners as *Come on Eileen*. The realization caused the two vampires to reflect upon their musical career, and Colin Robinson suggested they compose new songs and perform at an open mic night, secretly anticipating feasting on the anger and boredom of the audience. The audience disliked their new music and booed them until they performed their “seafaring song” from 1792, which turned out to be *Kokomo* by The Beach Boys. The audience happily sang along and the couple ate several members after the gig.

Staten Island Werewolf Support Group

The **Staten Island Werewolf Support Group** is a pack of werewolves living in Staten Island. They appear in *What We Do in the Shadows* (TV series).

## History

When Laszlo realized a werewolf had urinated on one of his topiary designs, he left a trap outside. The following night, Arjan, the group leader, got caught in it while in werewolf form. He lost consciousness and the vampires brought him inside while Guillermo bandaged his leg. He reverted back to human form, woke up and threatened the vampires before leaping out the window.

Soon after, Arjan recovered and returned with his pack, who urinated all over the vampires' garden. The werewolves prepared to fight Nadja and Laszlo until Nandor interrupted, demanding that the two groups follow the rules of “the truce”. He recited the Staten Island Lycanthrope Vampire Agreement of 1993, which states that they must get their strongest vampire to fight the pack’s strongest werewolf to settle the feud.

The vampires and werewolves decided to face each other on the roof of an abandoned Circuit City store. Nandor was chosen to face off against Toby, the largest werewolf of the pack. Toby transformed by merely imagining a full moon, but Nandor defeated him by throwing a squeaky bone toy off the roof, which Toby jumped after. The vampires flew away, leaving a frightened Guillermo at the scene, but the werewolves left him alone to look after Toby and requested to keep the bone.

The pack encountered the vampires again in 2021 after one of its members, Anton, turned Nandor's on-and-off girlfriend Gail into a werewolf while dating her. The vampire roommates were shocked to discover this, but Nandor encouraged them to meet her pack again in order to overcome their prejudice.

The two groups met at a park and the vampires found Anton kissing Gail. Tensions flared up again and Guillermo had the two groups settle their differences “*Twilight*-style” with a game of kickball as Gail watched from a bench. The game came to an abrupt end when Nadja accidentally kicked the ball into Gail’s face and killed her. Nandor bit her neck and dripped his blood into her mouth, bringing her back as a vampire-werewolf hybrid. Nandor then proposed to Gail, but she rejected him before bidding farewell to everyone and flying away. The werewolves were later seen chasing after Laszlo's recovered Stutz Laszlo car when he took it for a test drive.

No Vampires Remain in Romania (Dracula Spectacular)

***No Vampires Remain In Romania (Dracula Spectacular)*** is a song written and performed by King Luan. It is used for the end credits of the *What We Do in the Shadows* episode "City Council".

The song was featured on King Luan’s 2019 album *There Are No Gnomes in Sweden*.

## Lyrics

No Vampires Remain in Romania

I am not your Dracula spectacular

This is not your weekend in Vegas

This is not your selfie obscura

I am not your tour guide of Paris

This is not West Hollywood on Thursday

I am not your objet d'art

I am not your sepia heyday

This is not the moment we part

No vampires remain in Romania

No vampires remain in Romania

Don't walk alone in Transylvania

No vampires remain in Romania

No vampires remain in Romania

No vampires remain in Romania

Don't walk alone in Transylvania

No vampires remain in Romania

I am not your pop starlet saviour

This is not your reference du jour

This is not your sanctioned behaviour

I am not the disease or the cure

No vampires remain in Romania

No vampires remain in Romania

Don't sing this song in Transylvania

No vampires remain in Romania

Megan

**Megan** is a young girl living in Lower Hutt, Wellington. She appears in *Wellington Paranormal*.

## Biography

Megan created four imaginary friends (Daisy, Stinky Barry and two more unnamed friends) to play with, all of which had invisible monstrous forms and came into existence. When Megan and her parents, Steve and Jane, left the friends in their house while they went on holiday, Daisy became disruptive and started wrecking the house. The parents drove back to their home, with Megan asleep in the car, and assumed someone had broken into their house. Officers O'Leary and Minogue were able to arrest Daisy and bring her to the station, but she escaped and returned to the house.

When the officers returned to the house to file a victim’s report, they noticed a drawing of Daisy made by Megan and realised that she was an imaginary friend. The cops found Megan in her room having a tea party with Daisy and her other friends. The officers concluded that Daisy had not broken any laws, but had her wear a tracking device for security before they both joined Megan’s tea party.

## Biography

In 1977, a party hosted by Raymond St John at 23 Tukariri Street had several horrifying events which led to the deaths of multiple guests. Peter, along with a woman named Rochelle, was electrocuted when a lamp fell in the spa pool they were using.

In 2018, officers O’Leary and Minogue investigated the house with a medium, Chloe Patterson, suspecting ghosts were causing frequent noise complaints returned to the empty house the next night. They had several disturbing encounters with the ghosts of the party guests, including Chloe being dragged into the hot tub room, which became a normal bathroom when Minogue went after her.

The officers, assisted by Sergeant Maaka, were able to revert the bathroom back to the hot tub room and found Chloe enjoying the spa with Rochelle and Peter. Raymond suddenly possessed Chloe, taunting the officers and demanding that the party continue. He floated off and led them back into the living room, where the party started again. The police stopped the music and informed the partygoers that they are all dead, which they didn’t believe until O’Leary shone a torch through them. All the guests admitted that they were no longer having a good time and agreed to leave the party for the afterlife.

Stutz Laszlo

The **Stutz Laszlo** is a car belonging to Laszlo Cravensworth. It ran on both coal and petrol and was one of only four ever made.

## History

Laszlo got into trouble with the Vampiric Council when he used the car to transport coal miners across state borders. The Council confiscated the car within ten minutes of Laszlo's ownership and banned him from driving. They kept the car in a secret room inside the library of the Temple of Blood-Devourers.

In 2021 Laszlo's wife Nadja became head of the Vampiric Council of the Eastern Seaboard of the New World. While helping Colin Robinson research energy vampires in the temple library, Laszlo found the car hidden behind a bookshelf. Assuming the room was built around the car, Laszlo tried to drive it th,rough the wall to head to Buffalo, but the wall remained standing and car was badly damaged. Colin Robinson tried to help him repair it and he completely dismantled the vehicle. The two took the individual pieces outside and knocked over several valuable artefacts while doing so. As the two reassembled the car outside, the Guide arrived and chastised them for destroying so many artefacts and failing to realise there was a garage door the car could have driven out of. Colin then caught fire when he tried to refuel the jalopy.

Laszlo and Colin successfully fixed the car and took the roommates on a drive as the Staten Island werewolves chased after them.

Vampire baby

The **vampire baby** is an unnamed baby who was turned by Laszlo. They appear in *What We Do in the Shadows (TV series)*.

## Biography

Some time before 1932, Laszlo turned a baby into a vampire out of boredom. He left it with an acquaintance in the Bronx and never visited them again. Laszlo avoided indictment by the Vampiric Council when another vampire, Garrett, was falsely charged with and found guilty of committing the crime. Garrett was sentenced to imprisonment in the Temple of Blood-Devourers.

Laszlo did not meet Garrett until 2019, just before he stood trial for the murder of Baron Afanas. Garrett revealed the reason for his imprisonment and expressed a desire to torture the real culprit, leaving Laszlo rather nervous.

Laszlo, Nandor and Nadja were eventually found guilty by the members of the Vampiric Council, which was revealed to include the baby as a member. Or most likely the Council took pity on the infant's situation and is in the guardianship of one of council members.

**Lucy** is a waitress at Lucky Brew’s Bar and Grill in Clairton, Pennsylvania. She appears in *What We Do in the Shadows* (TV series).

## Biography

When Laszlo had to go into hiding to escape the fellow vampire Jim, he fled to Clairton and adopted a new human alias, ‘Jackie Daytona’. He killed the owner of Lucky Brew’s, took over his position and became immediately popular with Lucy and the town’s people.

Soon afterwards, the town’s volleyball team, the Bucks, announced that they couldn’t afford to take part in the state tournament. After hearing Lucy’s singing voice, Laszlo decided to hold a talent contest at the bar to raise money for the team. The show successfully raised enough money, but while Lucy was performing, Jim arrived and finally realized ‘Jackie’ was Laszlo. The two vampires fought and Laszlo tried to fight back with fire-breathing, causing Lucy to faint and the money to catch fire.

Upset at the loss of the money, the vampires settled their differences. Laszlo bid farewell to Lucy and later got the money back by burning down Lucky Brew’s and cashing in on the insurance. He then hypnotized the whole town into forgetting vampires existed.

Rochelle

**Rochelle** is a party guest who died and became a ghost in 1977. She appears in *Wellington Paranormal*.

## Biography

In 1977, a party hosted by Raymond St John at 23 Tukariri Street had several horrifying events which led to the deaths of multiple guests. Rochelle, along with a man named Peter, was electrocuted when a lamp fell in the spa pool they were using.

In 2018, officers O’Leary and Minogue investigated the house with a medium, Chloe Patterson, suspecting ghosts were causing frequent noise complaints returned to the empty house the next night. They had several disturbing encounters with the ghosts of the party guests, including Chloe being dragged into the hot tub room, which became a normal bathroom when Minogue went after her.

The officers, assisted by Sergeant Maaka, were able to revert the bathroom back to the hot tub room and found Chloe enjoying the spa with Rochelle and Peter. Raymond suddenly possessed Chloe, taunting the officers and demanding that the party continue. He floated off and led them back into the living room, where the party started again. The police stopped the music and informed the partygoers that they are all dead, which they didn’t believe until O’Leary shone a torch through them. All the guests admitted that they were no longer having a good time and agreed to leave the party for the afterlife.

Wellington Harbour

**Wellington Harbour**, also known as **Te Whanganui-a-Tara**, is a large natural harbour in Wellington, New Zealand. The Harbour was believed to be the home of several taniwha, and this was eventually confirmed during an investigation from the Wellington Police Paranormal Unit.

## History

According to Māori legend, two taniwha brothers, Ngake and Whātaitai, lived in Wellington Harbour before the time of Kupe when the harbour was only a lake. Ngake grew tired of living there and escaped. Whātaitai grew lonely and tried to follow him, but became stranded when the tide fell. Whātaitai’s body turned to stone and his land mass became Hataitai, Wellington.

In 2019, ten anglers including Clarke Gayford, the Prime Minister’s fiancé, went missing in Wellington Harbour. The Paranormal Unit suspected this was caused by a taniwha and went to investigate along with Constable Parker. The Unit sailed out from Tapu Point while Parker camped on the shore. At 5:12 am, the Unit saw a huge taniwha on the sonar and returned to the beach. The group found the missing people trapped in a cave to be used as food for the beasts. The taniwha however consumed a fisherman and members of the camera crew during the investigation. Two taniwha were eventually seen mating in the harbour at Oriental Bay, thus confirming that the two were not the brothers of legend.

When the energy vampire Colin Robinson was promoted to a management position in his office, Joanna was assigned as his assistant. Unfortunately, this role meant that she became a frequent victim of his energy draining.

## Synopsis

Opening night of Nadja's vampire nightclub is threatened when the big musical guest cancels. Laszlo attempts to undermine the growing boy's affinity for musical theatre.

## Plot Summary

The vampire nightclub is ready for its grand opening, and Nadja has invited famous vampire rapper Richie Suck (Affion Crockett) to perform for its first night, but Richie's human familiar and manager Doctor Tom (Fred Armisen) gets in the way. Baby Colin is rapidly growing and has now started his own YouTube channel, while Guillermo and Laszlo bicker over his love of musical theatre until Laszlo accepts that he cannot change Baby Colin's interests. Meanwhile, Nandor worries that he may not be good enough for Marwa, so he decides to use one of his remaining wishes to obtain the world's largest penis. Guillermo helps him to work out the best possible phrasing of the wish, but due to Nandor's thanking Guillermo for his help while making the wish, the Djinn tricks them by adding an extra element to the wish that forces Nandor to think about Guillermo every time he engages in sex. At the nightclub opening, Nadja convinces Richie to kill Tom and return to his own style of performance, but this backfires when Richie reveals that he has recently developed a passion for stand-up comedy instead of singing. The attending crowd of vampires almost become violent, but Baby Colin defuses the situation by singing in Richie's place.

Maero

**Maero** are extremely rare humanoid beings of Māori folklore.

## Characteristics

Maero live in the forests of New Zealand. They are very tall, covered in a thick layer of hair and have long, sharp claws. They have human-level intelligence and are capable of speech, but may consume humans if hungry.

Maero share many traits with similar creatures of other countries' folklore. This includes the bigfoot or sasquatch of the USA, the yeti of Tibet, the yowie of Australia, the yeren of China and the woodwose of England.

## History

In 2021, a female Maero travelled all the way to Remutaka Forest to look for more of her own kind, preferably male. She found a vlogger and ate him; his disappearance prompted an investigation from the Wellington Police Paranormal Unit. She was found after abducting their assisting Constable Parker when she mistook him for a male Maero because he was wearing a ghillie suit. The Unit tried to arrest her for eating the camper but she managed to run away from them.

When Parker later encountered a shapeshifter who transformed into his worst fears, it briefly turned into a Maero.

Vortexes

**Vortexes** are mysterious gateways that lead to voids. They appear as large blue or yellow portals which can appear in mid-air, but can also be hidden inside objects. It is not known what causes vortexes.

## History

### Wellington Paranormal

On Christmas Eve 2019, officers O’Leary and Minogue were called to investigate a large amount of meat that went missing during a barbeque party at 12 Pamela Drive. The party host, Kevin, also mentioned that his elderly Aunt Flo was also missing. The officers searched his garden and found a vortex. Minogue tied himself to the garden hose and entered the vortex, finding himself in a strange dark void full of objects that had gone missing. He quickly found Flo, holding the tray of meat, and rescued her from the void.

Later that day, the cops were called to an office party where a worker had disappeared while photocopying himself. Correctly assuming that the photocopier was another vortex, Minogue sat on the glass and disappeared when the copy button was pressed. Minogue entered the void again and found Officer Fuzzypants, a teddy bear Sergeant Maaka lost as a child. Minogue left the void through another vortex, which turned out to be the one in Kevin’s yard, and found Jeff enjoying Kevin’s spa pool.

### What We Do in the Shadows, Season 2: 2020

The Mosquito Collectors of the Tri-State Area

**The Mosquito Collectors of the Tri-State Area** is a vampire hunting group in Staten Island. They appear in *What We Do in the Shadows* (TV series).

## History

The group was most likely established around 2019-2020 and for a while only consisted for four members: Derek, Shanice, Tonya and their leader Claude. The familiar Guillermo accidentally stumbled upon the group while looking for virgins. They revealed that "mosquitoes" were actually a front and unrelated to the group's actual purpose, other than being a metaphor for vampirism.

At the time, the only member of the group who had even met a vampire was Shanice, Jenna's roommate, who joined the group after she was turned by Nadja. Jenna was Shanice's first friend so her loss affected her deeply. Her story finally reminded Guillermo that the vampires' victims are human, with friends and family who are left behind when they're killed. The group then encouraged Guillermo to join them for crossbow practice, which he turned out to be amazing at. A flustered Guillermo made his excuses and left the meeting early.

Guillermo decided to continue meeting the Mosquito Collectors in order to infiltrate the group. At his second meeting, the members discussed the house which Shanice believed to be one of the last known locations of Jenna and left in a van belonging to Derek’s mother to slay the residents inside. Believing the house to be his residence, Guillermo panicked, but was relieved when it turned out to be a completely different home. However, the house actually belonged to an even bigger group of vampires, the Hustle Dynasty. The hunters snuck in, split up and discovered multiple sleeping residents, who suddenly awoke and attacked them. Guillermo fought them off, killing several of them, and rescued Shanice, Claude and Tonya, but was unable to save Derek, who was taken by the vampires. The group drove away in the van in a state of shock.

When the Vampiric Council found out about the deaths of the Hustle Dynasty members, they blamed the killings on Guillermo’s vampire masters and attempted to execute them. The execution was foiled by Guillermo.
