Of the newer youkai that have emerged only within the last few centuries, vampires are among the strongest of them, strong enough to take part in the power-balance of Gensokyo (*1) by now.

During the day they spend their time in their mansion, and once night comes they become active; they are the Lords of the Night.

Their main diet is human's blood. Those who are sucked to death will neither die nor become a ghost; they will move around as a zombie for a while, then evaporate under sunlight.

They went on a rampage when they first appeared in Gensokyo, lost against powerful youkai, and a settlement was reached as they finally made a contract (*2).

The details of this contract are that the youkai will offer them humans from which to feed (*3); in return, the vampires will not attack humans living in Gensokyo.

Of course, even now, the contract remains in effect.

Vampires have marvelous physical performance and magical power: they are able to lift up a thousand-year-old tree single-handedly, to run through a human village within the blink of an eye, to summon many demons with a single word, to dissolve themselves into bats or even a pale mist to intrude into anywhere, and they can recover even when their body is blown away in a night, as long as their head is undamaged.

Some youkai have abilities similar to each of these, but only vampires are known to possess all of them.

This makes them very fascinating.

However, perhaps due to their extraordinary abilities, they have many weaknesses.

First, they are weak against sunlight, so they are docile during the day.

Neither can they go across flowing water, so they are docile on rainy days. Also, they can't cross rivers.

They can't approach a sardine head or a shattered holly branch.

For someone as powerful as a vampire, they are usually forbidden to directly assault humans.

Instead, they usually choose to cause a disaster that affects the whole of Gensokyo.

They create change in everything, including natural phenomena, for selfish reasons, which will always lead to endangering human life no matter what is affected.

Aside from these times, vampires are relatively gentle and polite.

They pose little threat in such case.

But that doesn't mean you should anger them.
