Also Called

 * Nelapsi Mimicri

Capabilities
User either is or can transforn into Nelapsi, a walking corpse with pale skin, red eyes, black hair, claws and pointy teeth, dressed in the burial shroud or the tattered remains of the clothing it was buried in. It's extremely powerful and feral, a single Nelapsi can massacre whole village during one night. Its appetite is insatiable, and won't stop hunting until dawn when it's forced to return to its grave. Nelapsi drinks blood of humans and animals alike, and before doing so kills its prey by either tearing into the victim with its needle-sharp teeth or by crushing. Being a patient and devious predator, sometimes it tortures its victims for weeks before killing and feeding on them.

Nelapsi doesn't possess typical vampiric weaknesses, as it doesn't fear holy icons (it's unknown whether things like holy water can hurt it) and can't be hurt by sunlight. It's extremely difficult to kill and conventional weapons like firearms and blades won't hurt it. It's said to possess two hearts and two souls, which is contradictionary as the undead aren't supposed to have soul. Nelapsi inhabits graveyards in Slovakia and the surrounding countries.
