History OurVampiresAreDifferent / WesternAnimation

** The Vladats finally get an appearance in the ''Galactic Monster'' story arc, where Zs'Skayr resurrects their leader, Lord Transyl. Apparently, they were lean, pale-skinned humanoid beings with fangs who could fly and fed on others' life force. Their signature ability apparently was MindControl, which they could do by spitting smaller bat-like creatures called Corrupturas who grafted themselves on people, enslaving them in the process ([[AndIMustScream And said enslaved people remained concious while being controlled]]). While sunlight could hurt them, it apparently wasn't lethal.

* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' with Jefferson Twilight, a ComicBook/{{Blade}} {{Expy}} who hunts black vampires. As in, [[Film/{{Blacula}} vampires made from people of African descent]]. That's pretty much [[CripplingOverspecialization the only kind of vampire he hunts]]; he legitimately has no idea how to handle vampires of different ethnicities. Amusingly, it's implied he does this so white vampire hunters don't get MistakenForRacist.
-->"They haven't been taken by blaculas. Though I'm not prepared to rule out Caucasian vampires."

** Actual vampires appear in later episodes. They are pretty much classical vampires that can turn into bats, but are unaffected by daylight and overall live as normal people.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode [[Recap/FuturamaS3E15IDatedARobot "I Dated a Robot"]], UnabashedBMovieFan rates ''Charlie's Angels III: The Legend of Charlie's Gold'' highly because it contains two things: "a vampire and an explosion." Specifically, it features a vampire which promptly explodes after emerging from its coffin. The ticking sound was sort of a giveaway.

** The Netflix show also subverts the traditional vampire's ForTheEvulz attitude as it's mused by Dracula and other characters that most vampire don't truly hate humans, more that they merely apathetically see them as a food source or "livestock" similar to cattle. Also in spite of this notion Dracula himself shows both love and friendship to two particular humans (Lisa and Issac), even the particularly blood thirsty vampire God Brand [[VillainRespect compliments]] the bravery of the "livestock" he faces. Averted with Carmila who’s traditionally callous and labeling Dracula and Lisa's love and marriage as the former "[[EvilCannotComprehendGood keeping a pet]]".

* On ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime,'' Marceline the Vampire Queen ''can'' drink blood, but actually only needs to eat the color red (which she can suck out of anything, leaving it gray). This does ''not'' necessarily make her a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire, however -- she seems to like the title characters, but once mad, she [[OneWingedAngel transforms into a horrific bat-monster]] and tries to kill anyone nearby to drink their blood. She is in a [[PowerFloats permanent state of levitation]] and neither walks nor sits in most appearances, and even floats above her bed while sleeping. She can apparently enter houses without being invited, is never seen interacting with a holy symbol one way or another, but is burnt to ash very quickly by sunlight and is implied to be killable with a stake. She has extra powers like fast healing, necromancy, mild shapeshifting and invisibility. It should be noted that Marceline is far from the typical vampire as she is originally [[spoiler:a half-demon HalfHumanHybrid who absorbed the powers of various high-ranking vampires and then (more or less separately) got turned into one]]. Her [[spoiler:vast demonic [[EldritchAbomination true form]]]] is probably not a result of being a vampire, and many of her specific powers derive [[spoiler:from those specific vampire nobles]] rather than being universal among vampires.

** The Hierophant is a stuffily traditionalist vampire who appears as a devil or krampus. He has even more wide-ranging powers of shapeshifting than classic vampires, and imitates textures and colors of different animals, sometimes more than one at once, but seems to always have at least his boots on in any form he takes, as opposed to a gelatinous shapeshifter like Jake with arbitrary shapes but no textures or colors. It's strongly implied that his dogmatic belief in all the traditional vampire weaknesses ''makes them real'' for him. For example, he is [[spoiler:killed by crossing the threshold of a fake house uninvited, which seems to take effect when he ''realizes'' he wasn't invited]] while other vampires in the series wouldn't even be phased by a real one.

** The titular monster in the ''Life with Loopy'' short "Fang Fairy". When her brother, Larry, ends up with a toothache (which is likely a baby tooth) and is scared of visiting the [[TheDentistEpisode dentist]] to have it removed so he can put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy, Loopy wonders if a Fang Fairy exists. She's proven right when she leaves her plastic vampire fangs for him, and the fairy, who is none too pleased with the practical joke she pulled on him, puts a curse on her that turns her into [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent a werewolf]]. The fairy later quits this business and goes into a career in dentistry, [[spoiler:where he becomes Larry's dentist, having been recommended by Loopy personally, much to his fear.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'': in "Fangs a Lot, Johnny", Susan and Mary transform into vampires in order to impress Gil. They wear gothic black dresses, their eyes turn a cat-like green, and they glitter in the sunlight. This was due to the fact that the episode was a TakeThat against the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' saga. They still had their thirst for blood, and tried to bite Gil, turn him into a vampire, and have him for the rest of eternity.

Examples of vampires present in WesternAnimation.

* The ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' episode "[[HalloweenEpisode CatDogula]]" featured the city of Nearburg being attacked by Peruvian vampire ticks who succeed in turning everyone but Cat into a vampire. In the end, Cat cures everyone of their vampirism by dousing them in garlic juice, including the Peruvian vampire ticks.

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' features the villain Count Spankulot who, well, [[ComedicSpanking spanks children]]. He only does this to kids who break the rules or ''really'' make him angry, as he did to Numbuh One in retaliation for sending him to jail. Like most vampires, Count Spankulot can turn others into vampires by simply spanking the victim without his gloves[[spoiler:, and the transformation not only applies to human beings, among other living things, but also to stuffed animals, which the vampirified Numbuh One does to [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals Numbuh Three's Big Bottom Rainbow Monkey doll]] at the start of the episode "Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N."]]. The only cure for anyone transformed into a Spank-Happy Vampire is for the victim to either spank back the vampire who spanked them, or spank the original Spank-Happy Vampire (Count Spankulot himself). Spank-Happy Vampires still have the traditional weakness to garlic and [[WeakenedbytheLight sunlight]], but of those vampires, only Count Spankulot himself is immune to sunlight, whereas those he transformed into vampires as well as those his victims transformed into vampires and so on are not. [[spoiler:While Numbuhs 1, 2, 3 and 4 are seen as Spank-Happy Vampires in "Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N., Numbuh 5 is transformed instead of Numbuh 4 in ''VideoGame/OperationVIDEOGAME'']].
