History OurVampiresAreDifferent / WebComics

** "The Circle" introduces a further type of vampire called Strakoistrat that withstand daylight and have magic powers.

* In ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', the Doctor used to be a VampireHunter when he was young and study which rumoured properties of vampires were real. In the end, though, the existence of non-human vampires including a vampire gorilla seems to be the only non-conventional vampire "physical" trait. The vampires in this comic are ''so'' close to the allegedly standard vampire lore that it's practically an inversion of the trope. Of course, that doesn't stop the comic's crazy creativity. Sebastian's coven secretly runs The Red Cross, while behind the scenes they're Creator/{{Anne Rice}}-style goth vampires cranked UpToEleven. As for Dracula, he's pretty much identical to Bela Lugosi's version of the Count, only living on a Moon Base. With a [[DeathRay Moon Laser]]. And since HolyBurnsEvil, a vampire can be made to explode by [[spoiler: throwing the Pope at them]].

** Anime/VampireHunterD also appears in the final storyline, with rather a different personality than his canon appearance, which is understandable, since at this point, he's still a child. [[spoiler:And also Integra and Seras's son. [[HomosexualReproduction Somehow.]]]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', [[AllTrollsAreDifferent troll]] legend describes vampires known as "rainbow drinkers" who [[DaywalkingVampire enjoy daylight]] and wear colorful clothes. Trolls themselves usually wear dark clothes and can't stand the sun. The name makes more sense when one considers the fact that trolls have their position in society determined by the [[AlienBlood color of their blood]]. Kanaya Maryam, as one of the exceedingly rare diurnal trolls, spends her days in her home surrounded by the (also diurnal) undead reading ParanormalRomance novels about rainbow drinkers.

** Later [[spoiler: Kanaya comes back to life after being killed and effortlessly dispatches the three biggest internal threats to the troll players, killing the one that murdered her]]. Rainbow Drinkers don't [[BishieSparkle spa]][[Literature/{{Twilight}} rkle]], they ''[[PowerGlows glow]]'', and they still have the incredible [[http://www.homestuck.com/problem-sleuth.com/?s=4&p=001323 VAMPIRE SPEED]] from ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth''.

* The vampires in the BoysLove webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Arcana}}'' differ in the fact that if they drink Harpy blood they will die. Also, it seems that when changed into a vampire, the victim will acquire some of its attackers traits. In Vincent's case, [[spoiler: he ends up ultimately raping and doing physical harm to his human lover]]. Finally, some of the vampires seem to harbor feelings of guilt and self-hate over their conditions (beliving they're monsters/unworthy of love). Other then that, the vampires in this story host the traditional traits (sunlight intolerance, bloodlust, etc.)

* In ''Webcomic/RasputinCatamite'', Dima Satan belongs to the upir sub-species of vampire, which is completely immune to sunlight. He doesn't attack victims strictly for purposes of feeding. His rampages usually take place while he's in an altered mental state and the main motivation seems to be the sheer joy of killing. Fish temporarily slows down his blood lust. Breasts act as the equivalent of Kryptonite.
* In ''Webcomic/SilverBulletNights'', Jekkel is a Smoke and unlike traditional vampires, he can walk in sunlight and he feeds on the breath of the dying, not blood. Blood is just an aphrodisiac to Smokes and half-vampires - they drink it during sex. Smokes can also turn to smoke (duh!).
* ''Webcomic/TriquetraCats'' has three unrelated species grouped under the "vampire", each with different characteristics and weaknesses. One is basically a blood-drinking animal.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Pandect}}'', a vampire is one name for the soulless creature formed when a human and an Ace conceive a child. They are basically killing machines which can change form and kill with a bite to the throat, but other than that they do not have the stereotypical traits (and weaknesses) of classical vampires. As one character notes, humans gave them the "vampire" name, not Aces.
* The vampires in ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' are different in that they are long extinct. As they were only one of many species that preyed on non-magical Beings, they'd often fall victim to stronger predators. They would also burst in to flames when in contact with sunlight, further dropping their numbers. As the last few remaining Vampires met to discuss how to avoid extinction, a dragon accidentally stepped on them.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
** Susan [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1096 resorts to "vampire"]] to describe a monster she encountered. Other than the traits she describes, the monster didn't have any other vampiric qualities, instead being vulnerable to magic weaponry. It did have fangs: a [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1100 mouth full of shark teeth]].
--->'''Sarah:''' ''A vampire?!''\\
'''Grace:''' ''Really?!''\\
'''Susan:''' ''No, not really,'' but it was a monster that used to be human, hypnotized young women and sucked blood out of their necks. It doesn't matter what I say. You two are going to hear "vampire".
** The author has [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2149 finally decided]] to just use the word "vampire" to describe these creatures, because the previous term (aberration) was a little unwieldy and everyone was calling them vampires anyway. He is also consciously avoiding using the trope of a "conflicted, good inside" vampire: all the creatures in the comic have been human-eating monsters, who ''revel'' in their status and chose it willingly as a form of ImmortalityImmorality.
** To sum up, "vampires" in the comic really have little in common with traditional vampires: they are former humans, they are immortal (at least as long as they keep eating), and consume humans as their food, but that's it. They do not transform their victims into new vampires (the victims just die), there is nothing religious about them, they share none of the classic weaknesses, they are universally vulnerable to summoned or magical weapons, they can take numerous different forms, and they are created through a human performing transformative magic upon themselves in a bid for immortality.

* ''Webcomic/{{Thunderstruck}}'' actually ignores ''Rule 3'': its vampires need blood (particularly when they have just been created), they spread like a virus, and they have all the traditional weaknesses. However, they are not badass, but pathetic, weak, coweled creatures that cannot cope with the modern world.
* ''{{Webcomic/Vampirates}}'' is a cute webcomic featuring... vampiric pirates. It's set in a world where vampires seem to be relatively accepted and can survive off of fresh blood, bagged blood, or special drugs given by the government. Sunlight doesn't seem to affect them, and they can loose large quantities of blood but survive.
** Actually the drugs don't sustain the vampires. They help suppress a vampire's hunger. [[http://vampirates.comicgenesis.com/pages/095.html See]] [[http://vampirates.comicgenesis.com/pages/217.html here]].
* The vampires of ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'' are ''very'' different from most depictions of vampires. 1) They are living beings who get born and die, not a species of TheUndead. 2) Sunlight doesn't bother them. 3) Their bites turn people into ''[[FurAgainstFang werewolves]]'', not more vampires. 4) Their hearts and lungs are found inside their heads, making a stake through the chest ineffective (their chests contain 17 appendixes). 5) They're ''very'' socially awkward and the traditional vampire stories come from the [[http://samandfuzzy.com/1669 wide variety of mental illnesses and delusions they suffer from]]. Edwin, the most fleshed-out vampire and a member of the supporting cast, suffers from "Chronic Tragic Gothic Romanticism" (the most common illness) and believes StalkingIsLove. Despite being MadeOfIron, they also don't appear to be particularly stronger than scrawny humans, making it quite easy to detain them.
* Amaranthe from ''Webcomic/NotQuiteDailyComic'' prefers the term [[http://www.truefork.org/Art/comic/cindex.php?358 "person with defunctory impairment"]] and [[http://www.truefork.org/Art/comic/cindex.php?379 rationalizes]] some of the common vampire traits.
* Vampire bats in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'', despite being living creatures like everyone else, are analogous to vampires in folklore: they are stigmatized, many of the vampire beliefs get dumped on them (such as the ones about garlic, shapeshifting, and mirrors), and are considered the ultimate scourge on society. This is why Desdemona Fuscus, Fenton's mom, kept it a secret: she didn't want her son to be shunned by society because he was half-vampire bat. This is also why she tried to speed up his wedding to Lindesfarne: as a geneticist student, she had the potential to find out he was and Desdemona was afraid she'd call off the wedding if she knew. While she didn't, once word got out they had numerous wedding guests cancel on them. [[spoiler: After she saves the life of the town doctor by sucking out the fluid swelling at his injured spine, she slowly starts becoming more accepted in society, and now works as Kell's second-in-command at her company.]]

* ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'' focuses on the personifications of national stereotypes. WordOfGod states: "Romanians have two stereotypes; vampires, and thieving gypsies. Therefore, Romania is a vampire who would rather steal your wallet than your blood. Yes, I'm aware this makes me a horrible person."
* ''WebComic/EerieCuties'': Nina's preference for chocolate, rather than blood, makes her an oddity among vampires to say the least. With the only explanation given, being that she was born on Easter Sunday. It turns out that wasn't entirely the truth. [[spoiler: In chapter 15, Nina's doll, Blair, explains that he purposely conditioned her that way so she'd never acquire a taste for blood, to prevent Queen Lamia from reincarnating. Except he'd been wrong about which of the Delacroix children it was to be: [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/all_the_signs_pointed_to_nina it was her older sister, Layla]]]].
* Lampshaded in ''Webcomic/SchoolBites'' when a newly turned Charlotte (a.k.a Cherri) meats Professor E who informs her that there are many different types of vampires. So far theres the very pale skinned vampires who have bat wings and pointed ears (like Cherri), regular human looking vampires (Professor E), the green skinned Nosferatu looking types (Imp), vampires with black angel wings (no seriously), fairy type vampires (though only one has been seen so far) and were-types (which so far have been cat girls).

* ''Webcomic/TheKingfisher'' includes the concept of vampire families with different powers. In ''The Kingfisher'' each family is founded by a progenitor. This is a person who became a vampire naturally upon dying, which seems to happen mainly to insane criminals, persecuted and executed by a community. When a progenitor turns someone into a vampire, that victim gains some of the powers and quirks associated with the progenitor, though is considerably less powerful.

* In ''Webcomic/MoonCrest24'', Vampires are apparently a subdivision of demons rather than their own race. Also notable for not having the standard weakness to the sun, and actually wanting to be in its light.
* Parodied in ''Webcomic/MandatoryRollerCoaster'' where [[ReligiousVampire members of different religious groups]] are depicted as Vampires.
* In ''Webcomic/SerenityRose'' vampires are animalistic and vampire blood is used as a drug. Vampires are kept sedated so their blood can be collected and sold off, and "The Curse" spreads more from unsafe drug use than vampire attacks.
* ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'' lampshades the variety of vampires in fiction [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/1291 here]].
* ''Webcomic/VampireGirl'' centers around vampire girl named Levana, who dislikes being a vampire so much, that she wishes desperately to be human/mortal. She refuses to drink blood, but because of her vampish lifestyles, she suffers from withdrawals much like a recovering alcoholic, and may sometimes be given a Bloody Mary, or Sangria, as placebos to take the edge off her urges. She has also been known to actually step outside into daylight, but completely bundled in large beach hats, ski masks, sunglasses, scarves, and long overcoats to shield her from sunlight (which causes her to sweat profusely).
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Book five, "Blood Runs in the Family", introduces [[spoiler: Malack, a LizardFolk--or rather SnakePeople--vampire. He's been around for over 200 years, surpassing Xykon as "oldest character who isn't an actual god." He bites Durkon and uses a spell of his own making to accelerate the transformation, turning Durkon into his thrall. When Nale kills Malack shortly thereafter, Durkon is freed and rejoins the good guys--[[GrandTheftMe albeit not fully in control of himself]].]] In fact, the vampires in the setting hold a dark secret, one rarely or never revealed to anyone that isn't one: [[spoiler:the vampire character is in fact an entirely separate entity of the original, a servant of a dark god possessing the body and [[AndIMustScream trapping the soul of the original inhabitant there for an eternity]]. Durkon himself is no exception.]]
** Book six further expands on this: [[spoiler: the first memories the vampire spirit absorbs are the lowest moments of the host's life; in Durkon's case, his vampire counterpart embodies all his suppressed resentment at the church of Thor for exiling him with no explanation.]]
* Lily and Suzie, the two vampires encountered so far in ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'', don't fit the classical vampire stereotype as well as they fit that for [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier ghouls]]: instead of sucking the blood of their victims, the vampire gals simply ''[[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/pratt-and-mcbride/ eat]]'' them, blood, flesh and all. They also work as FBI agents.
* "Unicorns Changed My Life" focuses on Mullo Murony a man that became an unconventional vampire after eating a unicorn. Mullo stopped aging at his prime, he can't magically control animals or people, he has to eat/drink blood/meat from mythical creatures or he will suffer from classic vampiric ailments. "[[http://methodcomix.com/?tag=unicorns-changed-my-life]]"
* In ''Webcomic/DeepDiveDaredevils'', Dracula’s new minions are sort of a cross between vampires and the Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon, and the Count himself has grown gills.
* ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban''. Camille's skin colour gets less pale when she feeds on human blood.
* ''Webcomic/BecomingBlizzard'' having a cast full of [[FunnyAnimals anthropomorphic bears]] gives us Amadeus, who would be your run of the mill vampire, as he has no reflection, dislikes garlic and doesn't age, if it weren't for the fact that his bite doesn't turn you into a legion of the undead, it turns you gay. He's a gay vampire. And yes, he owns a [[VampiresOwnNightClubs gay night club]].
* In ''Webcomic/SchwarzKreuz'' there are two ways of becoming one - virgin (a ritual involving suicide) and being turned by drinking a vampire's blood. They all [[TheAgeless stop aging]], get HealingFactor, SuperStrength, CannotCrossRunningWater or [[MustBeInvited come in uninvited]], have no reflections and allergy to garlic, but some vampirical powers (like turning into mist) are directly linked to bloodsucking. {{Vegetarian Vampire}}s can't access them, at the same time [[DaywalkingVampire losing the sunlight sensitivity]] and [[HolyBurnsEvil allergy to crosses]].
* ''Webcomic/UnholyBlood'': Vampires grow stronger by drinking blood, and don't burn up in sunlight. They have massive strength and a tremendous HealingFactor, but if they don't drink the blood of a Pure Blood vampire they die after five years.
* Vampires in ''Webcomic/{{unTouchable}}'' used to be standard bloodsuckers but have evolved to FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires to fit in modern society. They're no longer subject to most of the traditional weaknesses (strong sunlight can cause sneezing fits) and can absorb LifeEnergy by touch relatively harmlessly (unless they get too greedy for a single human.) They are TheBeautifulElite and not a little smug about it.

* ''Webcomic/VampireBites'': To start sunlight doesn't instantly kill vampires. It just massively dampens their powers and weakens their strength, otherwise they can go out without worry. Likewise they CAN see their reflection in the day but it will disappear at night (though apparently camera phones are fine as Chloe is seen using one when heading out for the night). The powers are augmented by the moonlight including regeneration. Silver is a major determent to them as well, burning them if they make any contact with it. Also one that turns a vampire normally stays by their charge to train them in their powers and one that takes on "orphaned" vampires is considered pretty rare.
* ''Webcomic/{{Monstra}}'': Vampires can go in the daylight just fine with the trade off being they can't use their powers. Only newborns (newly turned vampires) are kept indoors for a day after turning so their powers can regulate in their bodies otherwise they could combust since most vampires actually brought into the belief that sunlight will kill then when really it's their unstable powers reacting to that mindset. They can likewise float without have to turn into a bat, garlic acts as an allergen to them due to their heighten senses but otherwise isn't fatal, and crosses don't do a thing to them since, as it's later revealed, that was just the work of religious zealots that spun it out of control in fiction. They have missing reflections but just for their exposed parts of their body, meaning clothes will still reflect in mirrors, though digital cameras and camera phones can still capture them. They also don't need to drain their victim when feeding, a small amount of blood will do. In fact, most vampires just hunt as a form of exercise to keep their skills sharp and go out of their way to avoid seriously harming humans.
* ''Webcomic/WalkingInTheDark'': Vampirism can be transferred through taking enough blood to instill infection or feeding vampire blood to someone. Though despite the change, vampires aren't inherently evil and can live normal enough lives if they wish (Most of the conflict in the comic comes from rouge vampires who see themselves superior to humans and a councils efforts in trying to stop them). They have the usual red eyes and pointy ears, though can hide the latter to blend in. Sunlight is fatal but they can get around with sunglasses and hats. Also a supposed history lesson on them reveals that the vampirism started from a curse a bat god placed on a tribe to die in sunlight and the queen of such had begged other animal spirits for help to counteract it, giving them strength and speed and mutating it into what we see at the present day of the comic.
* ''Webcomic/UndeadEd'': They have glowing eyes and pointed ears and it's pointed out the reason they have no reflection is because their souls are cloaked to keep the Angel of Death from claiming them.
* Being a ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' centered webcomic, ''WebComic/AndShineHeavenNow'', aside from the canon examples of ''Hellsing'', have a few more:
** Reseda the [[https://vampireunderworld.com/asian-vampires-types-of-vampires/chordewa/ chordewa]], who snuck into Hellsing headquarters in her cat form, just to see how close she could get to Integra before getting caught, and also to find Helena (whom had already died at that point). She then has a friendly spar with Alucard. She later reappears during the Battle of London to help Yomiko (then disguised as Integra) get to the Millennium flagship so she could rescue Anita, and stalls the Captain long enough for Seras to put a [[spoiler:Holocaust victim's]] silver filled tooth inside him.
** An [[https://vampireunderworld.com/african-vampires/adze/ adze]] also appears, pretty much long enough for Integra to test out the powers she got from drinking tea made from flowers of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perun Perun]].
** Anime/VampireHunterD also appears in the final storyline, with rather a different personality than his canon appearance, which is understandable, since at this point, he's still a child. [[spoiler:And also Integra and Seras's son. [[HomosexualReproduction Somehow.]]]]
* ''Webcomic/MonsterSoup'': Luke exists in a world of {{Vegetarian Vampire}}s, and is locked up when he insists on behaving like a classical vampire and feeding on humans. Also, there's this YourVampiresSuck bit [[http://monstersoupcomic.com/?comic=chapter-2-page-11-graffiti when he first meets the rest of the main cast:]]
-->'''Amanita:''' ''(brandishes a crucifix)'' Stay back!\\
'''Luke:''' Someone like you should know more about vampires. Crosses don't work.\\
'''Amanita:''' ''(pulls out a star of David)''\\
'''Luke:''' This is going to get old ''really'' fast.
* ''Webcomic/LotusCobraIsEvil'': From [[https://i.imgur.com/flza8xt.jpg "Take me seriously"]], Sorin and Kalitas are named as vampires by Nissa Revane. It's later noted that they drink blood, but can do so from non-sentient sources.

* Transylvito in ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' is the kingdom of vampires, though they're generally just called Transylvitans when the matter comes up. They're noted for their distinctive appearances, including red eyes, gray skin, pointed ears and fangs. They all have a life drain special involving drinking the blood that Erfworlders barely seem to have in the first place and usually appear to have the flight special. Finally, despite being modeled after the mafia and looking a little "trashy" as Parson puts it, they could still be considered 'good guys' rather than monsters. [[spoiler:Jillian and Vinny even have what amounts to a {{dhampyr}} son, though Erfworlders don't really have sexual reproduction.]]

--> '''Sam:''' Now, now. Let's not make this decision as if our funding depended on it.

* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': As [[http://www.zebragirl.net/?date=2015-05-30 explained by Zandra]], there are many vampire types; the particular strain in her town don't sleep during the day, but are rather rendered [[AndIMustScream desperately, maddeningly powerless and invisible while fully conscious]]. [[spoiler:One of the reasons they're so eager to play ball with Zandra's rule is that drinking her blood is the only thing that ''allows them to sleep'' (or something similar, at least), something they hadn't been able to do since their vampiric conversion.]] They are also frozen in the state they were in when turned. One vampire for example was turned while she was in the middle of a drug high during 'Woodstock', nearly fifty years later and shes not came down from it.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' introduces [[spoiler: Malack, a LizardFolk--or rather SnakePeople--vampire. He's been around for over 200 years, surpassing Xykon as "oldest character who isn't an actual god." He bites Durkon and uses a spell of his own making to accelerate the transformation, turning Durkon into his thrall.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', [[AllTrollsAreDifferent troll]] legend describes vampires known as "rainbow drinkers" who enjoy daylight and wear colorful clothes. Trolls themselves usually wear dark clothes and can't stand the sun.
