Alternate vampire broods

Some alternate vampires broods I wanted to use for the garlic weavers zine.

Vampire Grubs

• Burrow underground
• Need blood to start their metamorphosis into a beetle vampire lord.

Vampire Mandragore

• Created when a mandragore is nourished with human blood.
• Charm spells
• Scream make blood vessels erupts
• Dring blood with her roots

Vampire Leeches

• Mutate as they drink human blood.
• Infected corpses spawn multiple vampire leeches
• Hunt other vampires for their blood

Star Vampire

Star vampires are illuminated bio-engineering parasites. They convert their host body into a bio-engineering laboratory. They are know to craft leech-potions, ghoul-homunculi and  small bio-mechanical devices. Their main working material is blood. They live as hermits and can be consulted by wisdom seeking people. They can create devices or cast oracles from someone blood. They are only predatory when they need to find a new host. Even then they will help their host toward their next reincarnation (the process is similar to the reincarnation spell, but with narcosmic results).   

Reincarnation in the #Narcosmos , roll 1d12 (created by by Alex S):

• 1. you are reborn as a plasmoid on a world where life is just developing; if you play your cards right, you will turn into a god on this world. 
• 2. you are reborn as your mother, carrying yourself within yourself, knowing it, but never allowed to speak of this or you will break yourself; now you know why she looked at you that way.
• 3. you are reborn as a child of a close friend of yours; as you learn to speak, you try and tell her all you know and prove your identity by telling your mother things she would never have shared with her child; there is an estrangement.
• 4. you are reborn; you don't understand; there is pain, and hunger, feeding and frantic mating, licking and raising of pups, pain and lots of running; you love to run.
• 5. you are reborn as the child of a stowaway on a slow ship; you spend years playing hide and seek with your mother between those container towers; scavenging, sleeping, disabling ship security piece by piece, expanding your territory slowly over the years.
• 6. you are reborn, changed, augmented; your spirit arms can touch other people; your third eyes sees clearly; sex, prayer, talk, sleep, it's all a glorious vision of life; start a cult, for your vision is true.
• 7. you are born like everybody else; your link to the past was cut, and it is only in drunken stupor and when waking up after surgery that you catch glimpses of your glorious other lives; oh, what you could have been! what you could have done! if only circumstances had been different.
• 8. you are born into somebody else's body; their spirit it weak and you don't want to die; your experience is showing: slowly you build a cage around their spirit; blocking it off, taking over, taking control, living a new life, drink from this fortuitous cup once more! sometimes you can hear it scream and cry in the back of your mind and you know, you must never let it out, ever.
• 9. you are born free of your previous shackles; you realize that you have always belonged to the star people; travellers, gazers, warriors, parasites; this new host body will do and in time you will get back to those friends that pulled that prank on you; fuck that previous life you led, like a piece of flesh!
• 10. you are reborn into a better life; happiness is there if you will only reach out for it; abandon the false temptations of decadent society around you; you see through the illusion and are destined for a life of a simple hermit, content and free of strife.
• 11. you are reborn back into the Schicksalsgenossenschaft of old; all the people around you are friends from previous lives; you have all helped each other out, again and again, and you know it, and they know it; this is going to be glorious.
• 12. that was it! you have passed the last test, broken through, there are no more obstacles for you; will you enter nirvana and be free of suffering forever, or will you return in order to help others? If so, choose where your help is needed the most and go. Thank you! Thank you.

Tsar Vampire

Drawing request of Vincent Q.

Vincent asked for a Tsar vampire: greedy Tsars can become vampires by drinking the blood of the birds of life. The more they drink, the more they grow and become bat like. When they grow bigger they become Dragons. They can turn humans into vampires, but since their victims did not drink from the bird of life, they only create degenerate servants. When your Tsar turn into a vampire, there is no choice: heroes must gather to destroy him, if not, after a generation or two he will eventually transform into a dragon and ravage the land!
