Mula

* Mulo
* Mulli

A **Mula**, **Moola,** or **Muleh** is a type of intelligent vampire. Same as bruxae, alps, and higher vampires, they are immune to the sun and can be sometimes mistaken for the previous two especially when they are disguised as a human. Based on a conversation between the Bruxa known as Verenna and the Witcher Geralt of Rivia it can be assumed that the **Mula** species can come in both male and female varieties though it should be noted that unlike their cousin species of the Bruxa and the Alp that the **Mula** species has larger numbers of the male variety than female. **Mula** are the largest vampire species when transformed into their hybrid form. **Mulo** is the correct term for a male and **Mulli** is the correct term for a female.

## Physiology

### Human form

Like a regular (but beautiful) human, but with a feature or two that gives away their inhuman nature. They can be large and muscular or have strange eyes for example.
