List of fictional dhampirs (dhampir)

This list covers the many types of dhampirs or dhampir-like creatures found in fiction. It does not include any dhampir that originates in folklore or mythology, nor does it include the concept of 'full' vampires.

Dhampir

The Albanian word for Vampire is Dhampir (Dham = teeth and Pir = drink/suck) … In the Albanian language the verb pir/pin/pi means simultaneously to drink and to suck … (e.g. the albanians say: "mushkonja/shushunja me ka pir gjakun" = "the mosquito/leech sucked my blood"). Thus the name Dhampir means Teeth-sucker … sucking via teeth)). Dhampirs are evil nightly creatures with sharp and long teeth, very strong, quick, heavy and are mostly invisible to the eyes of the normal People. They fear the fire, the water and the daylight, but like the music. These are dead people which were angry. They get up from the grave and come at night, bite people and animals and drinks their blood. Dhampirs are very sadistic; they terrify, beat up, and rape women and/or kill people. Only a Dhampirash (Dhampirash = the child of a Vampire father and a human mother) is capable to see the Dhampires, and knows how to fight or kill them. He must make a circle from some burnable material and blood on the ground; afterward he lures the vampire into the circle while positioning himself in the middle of the circle, playing the fife (recorder) or whistling. Then he puts fire on the circle, so that the terrified Dhampire from the fire cannot flee, forcing the Dhampire to fight him. Dhampirash must kill and burn the Dhampire, or new Dhampires will rise from every glow of these fires of a circle. When he has him killed and completely burnt, he must take his ashes/cinders and throw them in a river. (I told shortly and only the most important one) Old tales from the Albanian folklore (Kosovo). I have translated this by online translating service from German to English, and I tried to make clearer. I hope it is clear enough, for those who want to understand. I have forgotten to say that the Albanian word for the female vampires is Dhampiresha/Dhampireshe ... (e.g., Luan (m) Luanesha/e (f) = lion (m) lioness (f), or Mbret (m) Mbretresha/e (f) = king (m) queen (f) etc. --User:!i!i!i!i!i! 01:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.73.235.63 (talk) Serbian вампир/vampir, or, according to some sources, from Hungarian vámpír. The Serbian and Hungarian forms have parallels in virtually all Slavic languages. The Bosnian Lampir which was the name of the oldest recorded vampire Meho Lampir.: Bulgarian вампир (vampir)... (Wikipedia) T. P. Vukanović published a four-part article on vampires in 1957-59; it includes the only original research on dhampir beliefs that I have been able to find. (And I've looked in the obvious places, including Montague Summers's books on vampires, Were-Wolf and Vampire in Romania by Senn, Vampires of the Carpathians by Bogatyrëv, and various anthologies on Eastern European lore edited by Jan Perkowski.) Only a small part of Vukanović's article is devoted to dhampir beliefs. I've added three paragraphs under "Legends" that pretty well summarize the dhampir-relevant information in the article. Much of what it replaced apparently was based on the White Wolf universe. Maybe a writeup on World of Darkness/Kindred of the East dhampyrs would be appropriate also? The Vampire Encyclopedia by Michael Bunson (ISBN 0-517-16206-7) on pages 65 & 69 attributes it as a name given by Slavonic Gypsies to the child of a vampire. Goes on to describe the basic properties of a dhampir, the believed prowess of hunting vampires, the ritual of hunting vampires and states that the last known vampire hunting cerimony performed by a dhampir as being held in 1959 in Kosovo. He doesn't have a direct cite for any of those assertions but most of the books he lists as references he used to prepare his book are prior to 1980. -- Greyed ( Added a section on Kindred of the East dhampyrs. This universe is likely the source of beliefs that dhampirs grow up emotionally disturbed, that most pregnancies of dhampirs do not come to term, etc. Since the universe is fictional, I added this section after rather than before the "False dhampirs" section, even though I strongly suspect "False dhampirs" is based chiefly or entirely on the Saga of the Noble Dead novels by Barb & J.C. Hendee.,( 5 January 2006 (UTC) In the Fiction section, how about Connor from Angel? Darla was reserected as human when Connor was concieved, and a Vampire when he was born, and had the vampire strengths and abilities.Origin of the word[edit] "Dhamphir" is the Roman transliteration of ذمثير, the closest Arabic script (as was traditionally used in the Muslim Balkan areas) approximation of the the Serbian word "vampir", which itself derived from the original Slavonic "upir". In non-muslim comunities the dhampir male was more specifically known as łampijerowić, literally meaning "vampire's son".[citation needed] I absolutely fail to see the logic of this. Do we have to assume that Serbian gypsies learned the word for "vampire" by reading a document about Serbian folk belief written in the Arabic script, so they didn't know how it was pronounced? --91.148.159.4 21:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC) Dont get confused friend. Dhamphir has a totally Arabic phonology not a slavonic one, Vampir on the other hand has a totally slavonic phonology not an Arabic one. If we don't include the phonology we might as well write another article under a different name. However, it is highly dubious that a foreign word like this should even have an article of its own in English according to Wikipedia naming conventions. If it is about half-vampires, then the English article should be entitles Half-vampires (folklore) and Dhamphir should appear as one of the many words for such in different languages...there is debate about name,and in this artikle i use source from Wikpedia and foto by Jasmin Vuk

Werewolf

Werewolf From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Werewolf (disambiguation). "Wolf man" and "Lycanthrope" redirect here. For other uses, see Wolf man (disambiguation) and Lycanthrope (disambiguation). "Lycanthropy" redirects here. For other uses, see Lycanthropy (disambiguation). Werewolf Werwolf.png Woodcut of a werewolf attack, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, 1512 Grouping Legendary creature Sub grouping Lycanthrope Similar creatures Revenant, vampire Country England Region The Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope (from the Greek λυκάνθρωπος lykánthropos: λύκος, lykos, "wolf", and ἄνθρωπος, anthrōpos, "man"), is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (e.g. via a bite or scratch from another werewolf). Early sources for belief in lycanthropy are Petronius and Gervase of Tilbury. The werewolf is a widespread concept in European folklore, existing in many variants which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying European folklore which developed during the medieval period. From the early modern period, werewolf beliefs also spread to the New World with colonialism. Belief in werewolf develops parallel to the belief in witches, in the course of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. Like the witchcraft trials as a whole, the trial of supposed werewolves emerges in what is now Switzerland (especially the Valais and Vaud) in the early 15th century and spreads throughout Europe in the 16th, peaking in the 17th and subsiding by the 18th century. The persecution of werewolves and the associated folklore is an integral part of the "witch-hunt" phenomenon, albeit a marginal one, accusations of werewolfery being involved in only a small fraction of witchcraft trials.[1] During the early period, accusations of lycanthropy (transformation into a wolf) were mixed with accusations of wolf-riding or wolf-charming. The case of Peter Stumpp (1589) led to a significant peak in both interest in and persecution of supposed werewolves, primarily in French-speaking and German-speaking Europe. The phenomenon persisted longest in Bavaria and Austria, with persecution of wolf-charmers recorded until well after 1650, the final cases taking place in the early 18th century in Carinthia and Styria.[2] After the end of the witch-trials, the werewolf became of interest in folklore studies and in the emerging Gothic horror genre; werewolf fiction as a genre has pre-modern precedents in medieval romances (e.g. Bisclavret and Guillaume de Palerme) and develops in the 18th century out of the "semi-fictional" chap book tradition. The trappings of horror literature in the 20th century became part of the horror and fantasy genre of modern pop culture.
