all cases, it still makes the vampire stand out in a crowd of humans, making it necessary for him to avoid sunlight.
3. Fangs or Large Canines
All vampires have fangs or large canines, whether you can see them or not. These are very similar to the ones animals have, though
much sharper. Their main purpose is to dig deep into human flesh and make precise puncture wounds needed to start the blood flow. In some
cases the fangs are retractable like claws and are only displayed when the vampire is in attack mode. Usually this is accompanied by a change
in their facial composition making them more animalistic and savage.
4. Breathtaking Beauty
Breathtaking beauty is also another characteristic that is associated with vampires. They have the power to maximize their charm
and good looks making them extremely attractive, especially to humans they want to prey on. They are also very well dressed and manage to
keep up with the latest fashion even though some of them have lived for over hundreds of years.
5. Immortal
Immortal is something we associate with all vampires but this is not necessarily true. What vampires are vulnerable to is being stabbed in
the heart with a stake? If you do this and then cut off their heads before burning their bodies, then you can be sure that you have killed the
vampire for good. Unless this is done, the vampire remains immortal,
28
feels no pain and cannot be injured. But there is some amount of evidence which shows that prolonged contact and attachment to humans
does make vampires vulnerable to mortal pain and harm.
