Vampire spawn are newly created vampires. They have yet to fully master their abilities, and many are consumed by their thirst for blood. Vampire spawn might serve more powerful vampires or pursue their own depraved agendas.
Vampires
Blood-Sucking Lords of the Night
- Habitat. Underdark, Urban
- Treasure. Any
Vampires disguise their accursed, immortal natures, passing as mortals to feed on the blood of the living. While the youngest vampires might be little more than bloodthirsty servants of their creators, the eldest possess incredible cunning and control over supernatural forces of the night.
Undead vampires lie dormant during the day, retreating to resting places hidden from foes and the sun’s searing rays. Roll on or choose a result from the Vampire Resting Places table to inspire a vampire’s grim sanctuary.

Vampire Lairs
Vampires and vampire umbral lords create sanctuaries apart from the living, whether hidden in cosmopolitan cities or sequestered in ruins where they dwelled in life.
A quote from Astarion, Vampire Spawn
Darling, you are simply delicious…
