|feature1=Regeneration
|flimit1=
|fdesc1=The vampire regains 10 {{srd5lc|Hit Point}}s at the start of its {{srd5lc|Turn}} if it has at least 1 hit point and isn’t in sunlight or running water. If the vampire takes {{srd5lc|Radiant}} damage or damage from {{srd5lc|Holy Water}}, this trait doesn’t function at the start of the vampire’s next turn.

|feature2=Spider Climb
|flimit2=
|fdesc2=The vampire can climb [[SRD5:Difficult Terrain|difficult surfaces]], including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an {{srd5lc|Ability Check}}.

|feature3=Vampire Weakness
|flimit3=
|fdesc3=The vampire has the following flaws: <br />
:'''''Forbiddance.''''' The vampire can’t enter a residence without an invitation from one of the occupants.<br />
:'''''Harmed by Running Water.''''' The vampire takes 20 {{srd5lc|Acid}} damage if it ends its turn in running water. <br />
:'''''Stake to the Heart.''''' If a {{srd5lc|Piercing}} weapon made of wood is driven into the vampire’s heart while the vampire is {{srd5lc|Incapacitated}} in its resting place, the vampire is paralyzed until the stake is removed. <br />
:'''''Sunlight Hypersensitivity.''''' The vampire takes 20 {{srd5lc|Radiant}} damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, it has {{srd5lc|Disadvantage}} on {{srd5lc|Attack Roll}}s and {{srd5lc|Ability Check}}s.

|action1=Multiattack
|alimit1=
|adesc1=The vampire makes two attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack.

|action2=Claws
|alimit2=
|adesc2=''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. ''Hit:'' 8 (2d4+3) {{srd5lc|Slashing}} damage. Instead of dealing damage, the vampire can {{srd5lc|Grapple}} the target (escape {{SRD5|DC}} 13).

|action3=Bite
|alimit3=
|adesc3=''Melee Weapon Attack:'' +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by the vampire, {{srd5lc|Incapacitated}}, or {{srd5lc|Restrained}}. ''Hit:'' 6 (1d6+3) {{srd5lc|Piercing}} damage plus 7 (2d6) {{srd5lc|Necrotic}} damage. The target’s {{srd5lc|Hit Point Maximum}} is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a {{srd5lc|Long Rest}}. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

{{SRD5end}}
'''Unofficial Description:''' Created by a {{srd5lc|Vampire}}, the vampire spawn appears as it did in life, although it usually has pale skin and long nails on its hands.
