* In Albanian folklore, a 13th century tale speaks of the Dhampyr. A soldier goes to war but he promises his wife to come back to give her a son, legacy and stuff. Of course, [[FatalFamilyPhoto he dies]], yet still comes back, undead. He has the son and raises him, all this time not going in the sun. When his wife tells his mother that she is living with him she tells her that the dead are dead and the living should not mess with that. They get him high on weed (not making it up) and expose him to the sun. The end. How do we get from this to ''{{Blade}}'', ''{{Blood+}}'' and ''VampireHunterD''? Who knows.
* In China, there are the [[ChineseVampire Jiangshi]], which are something of a mix between the traditional Slavic vampires and [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]].
** Unlike both, the Jiangshi is not free of rigor mortis. Given enough time after its death, the creature will get so stiff that it will be able to move only by ''hopping''.
* Asturias (northern Spain) has the Guaxa, a nocturnal creature with the aspect of an extremely old woman with big owl eyes and a single, needle-like tooth that uses to suck the blood of children. It can squeeze in through any crack, and sleeps by day in a cave or a hole in a tree - making it oddly similar to the "Teliko" seen in ''TheXFiles''.

* In Finnish folklore, a child born out of wedlock, murdered by its mother after birth and buried in forest would stalk after her for the rest of her life, seeking to suck her breasts, not for milk but for blood, until she died. If they couldn't find their mother, they could go after any unfortunate woman. The stories usually depicted them as naked, paper-white toddlers, in spite of the murder taking place when they were newborns.
*In Albanian folklore, an 13nth century tale speaks of the Dhampyr . A soldier goes to war after he promises his  wife he will come back to give her to give her a son, legacy and stuff. Yeah he dies, and still comes back, undead. He has the son  and raises him, all this time not going in the sun.
