The Nosferatu Is One Member Of The Dracula Family. While Most Vampires Species Are Solitary, The Nosferatu

The Nosferatu is one member of the Dracula family. While most vampires species are solitary, the Nosferatu lives in large communal flocks comprised of a single brooding female and her sterile male offspring. Once a queen is mated, during her nuptial flight, and has established her hive she will live out her days deep within the cave hive system.

Using their blood crops, foraging Nosferatu will collect the sanguine elixir and bring it back to feed the queen and their other hive mates. The inner workings of a hive are as complex as the cave system itself, with specific classes of Nosferatu catering to varies needs within the hive.

While humans do fall prey to the Nosferatu they are not selective and will also feed on livestock or other large fauna such as dragons. Their shoulder clasps aid in their feeding. Giving them a secure grip on their prey.

Despite folkloric anecdotes, religious paraphernalia does very little if anything in warding off the Nosferatu. It is in fact the ritualistic dressings and oils that the Nosferatu is adverse too, being an irritant or an over stimulant to it’s highly sensitive receptors.
