* ''VideoGame/EvilWest'': While there is no hard limit in Vampire society on the number of humans a clan can turn, most of them start out as 'Familiars', servants who have some minor supernatural abilities from drinking vampire blood, but can last in the sun and do most of the daily chores; it's implied this is all a pyramid scheme, as most of the Familiars will be killed off protecting their masters over the decades, while still having enough survivors to replenish their species and then mooch off the next generation of suckers. More importantly, turning too many humans at once means there aren't enough 'cattle' to feed all the vampires. Felicity turning ''hundreds'' of humans into {{Feral Vampire}}s at once is lampshaded by a defector as her going off the deep end.
