Supernaturals

Creatures powered by, or users of, magic. Either born with it, or turned into what they are now, these beings are a fact of life, even if they hide their existence from the mortals, these beings tend to fuel the realms of fantasy... or horror.

Lycanthropes

Werewolves are cursed humans with the ability to shape-shift into wolves or anthropomorphic wolves (lycanthropy). Their appearance is often associated with lunar cycles.
Throughout human history there have been tales of humans metamorphosing into beasts of the night, usually through means of sin or black magic. Predominantly in Eastern Europe however, the recurring theme drawn out is of a man infected with a curse than turns him into a shadow of his former self; a veritable monster who salivates for the kill and howls at the moon like a wild dog. Modern takes on the legend suggest that werewolves are in fact caused by a rabies-like virus being passed through victims in scratches and bites, slowly turning them in the space of a month into werewolves themselves. In some types - or breeds - of werewolves, the disease can actually be transmitted from parent to child.
The standard werewolf resembles an enlarged and rabid looking wolf standing on two legs with dexterous front paws and defined musculature resembling that of a human. Sometimes a tail is present. However, different types of werewolves exist, much like different dog breeds exist. Some resemble humans with fur on their bodies, while others fully transform into wolf-like creatures, running around and hunting on four limbs like a true wolf would.
Over time, it is possible for a human to learn control over their transformations, but, much like Dr. Jekyll/ Mr. Hyde, the beast emerges, usually in a stressful situation or through influence of the moon or even certain spell chants.
Despite being eternal enemies with vampires, werewolves are linked to them by way of ancient legends, stating that the body of a werewolf would return as a vampire if not blessed and decapitated prior to burial.

Undead

Undeath is a state in which mortal beings that are deceased behave as if they were alive. A common example of an undead being is a corpse reanimated by supernatural forces, by the application of either the deceased's own life force or that of another being (such as a demon). The undead may be incorporeal (ghosts) or corporeal (mummies, vampires and zombies).
The undead are featured in the belief systems of most cultures, and appear in many works of fantasy and horror fiction. The term is also occasionally used for putative non-supernatural cases of re-animation, from early experiments like Robert E. Cornish's to future sciences such as chemical brain preservation and cryonics.

Vampires

The modern day term "vampire" most likely derived from Slavic origins. The Serbian word "vampir" was incorporated into the German language, then to the French as "vampyre" and finally into the English "vampire." These undead horrors have various abilities and powers depending on folklore and place of origin; literature and cinema have also had a lot of influence on the vampire image. According to Eastern European folklore, the dead become vampires because demons or evil spirits enter the bodies. Vampires are also said to be dead werewolves, witches, criminals, suicides, and heretics: persons whose beliefs are contrary to the church doctrine. Again, sources vary, but a victim of the vampire's bite typically rises again as a vampire after dying.
Vampires often possess higher physical strength, dexterity and sharper senses than their mortal prey. Some may have the ability to take the form of a bat, wolf, rat or mist/smoke. The vampire can influence some animals - typically wolves, bats and rats. They can scale vertical surfaces and can use an uncanny hold on a victim through their mesmeric gaze. If a vampire has a masterly hold on a human victim, it may be using said victim over a period time as a constant source of nourishment.
Weaknesses include silver and sometimes iron which will cause the vampire pain. Similarly in some traditions, the wood of the hawthorn tree, which has Biblical roots, will also harm a vampire. Holy religious symbols can be used to hold the creatures at bay. Vampires also seem intolerant to garlic. Vampires, being nocturnal beasts, cannot function in sunlight; indeed, exposure is fatal in most folklore and adaptations. Some vampires cannot cross running water, and most can only enter a property if personally invited inside.
Burying a victim face down or placing poppy seeds in the grave of the deceased will, according to legend, prevent the resulting vampire from rising.
If nosferatu can be tracked down to its lair, generally the place they where buried - a tomb, grave, mausoleum, or even family estate - they can be disposed of traditionally with a wooden stake through the heart. Severing the head will assure destruction.
After The Convergence, many worlds became one, meaning several different strains of vampirism exist.. moreso than there were in any individual worlds before. Demonic vampires from the Hellmouth, vampires cursed by God, descended from Cain, and ancient vampires born from the Darkhold and the power of the Elder Gods all coexist. Their secret societies at odds with each others, the only thing having so far stopped an outright war is their need to stay hidden from the general public. There is no official Masquerade in place, but in a world where vampires now have to worry about Superheroes on top of regular Hunters, not exposing themselves is the best way to make sure they don't get the attention of the Slayer, the Daywalker.. or Superman.

Darkhold Vampires

Vampires made from the Darkhold typically have enhanced strength, speed, and regenerative abilities. Their weaknesses vary from writer to writer, but generally sunlight and decapitation are the constant methods of killing a vampire. These vampires also seem to be able to shift from a human (albeit pale) form to a demonic form (with red eyes, fangs, claws, and change in skin color). Vampirism in this comic universe is most often perceived like an infection and sometimes able to be cured via magic or particularly strong willpower.
Though different tribes of vampires appeared sporadically throughout the years, the so-called Death of Dracula revealed that the different species of vampires are organized into sects and every hundred years the sects converge under the leadership of Dracula for a conference on an ancient Greek island discovered following the sinking of Atlantis. The sects attending the most recent gathering are the Krieger, Claw, Charniputra, Mystikos, Anchorite, Pureblood, Tryk, Nosferatu, Atlantean, Moksha, and Siren Sects.
The sects absent from the gathering are: the Adze of Guyana, Africa, who do not succumb to the normally fatal weaknesses of a vampire until 10 minutes afterwards; the Ancients of Italy, who possess superior speed and healing; and the Yiki Onna of Japan, who can transform into razor-sharp clouds of ice instead of mist.

Cainites

Given the "Mark of Cain" for his murder of his brother Abel, Cain lost his memory. Wandering in a desert, he came across a dying woman, also cast from Heaven, and found himself with a need to feed upon her. He drank her blood, confused as to how she knew his name, but had an instinctual knowledge of how to feed without actually killing her, leaving her alive enough to rise again, which she did as his bride, Lilith, Mother of Monsters. He also became stronger as a result of feeding.
After turning hundreds to their vampiric "children," Cain and Lilith came across a cult of vampire hunters. When she succumbed to her rage and loss, Lilith transformed into the first beast. Though they thought they killed all of the vampire hunters, enough survived to found the Order of the Van Helsings.
After a time of living like monstrous monarchs, they were met by a demon who had come to take back the power that they had got. Though he could not be killed, the Demon took the souls of all of those he had turned, including Lilith. He was promised, on that night, that if he fed just once upon a truly innocent soul, he would be cursed to spend his days locked in a vacuum of nothingness, eternally.

Maloker's Vampires

These vampires are undead beings whose souls have been replaced with demons. These demons share all of the same memories as the original living being and essentially become a conscienceless, murderous version of that person. They are capable of transforming themselves back and forth from a human appearance and their vampire form, which includes a mouth full of fangs, yellow eyes and facial ridges. Exceptionally old vampires like the Master lose this ability and appear always with more demonic vampire features.
Vampires in this continuity have super-strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, acute sensory perception, rapid healing, and immortality. Some vampires display other psychic abilities. They possess all of the traditional weaknesses of vampires, including wooden stakes to the heart, holy symbols, sunlight, fire and decapitation. Upon death, their bodies immediately deteriorate into dust. Conventional things like bullets will not kill them but will hurt them for a time until they heal from the injuries at an accelerated rate.
The method of turning someone into a vampire involves draining them of their own blood and feeding them the blood of a vampire. The person will then die and rise later as a vampire.

Wizards & Sorcerers

A magician, also known as a mage, warlock, witch, wizard/wizardess, enchanter/enchantress, sorcerer/sorceress or spell caster,[2] is someone who uses or practices magic derived from supernatural, occult, or arcane sources.
Magic can also require various sacrifices or the use of certain materials, such as gemstones, blood, or a live sacrifice. Even if the magician lacks scruples, obtaining the material may be difficult. The magician expends power to fuel his spells, but does not replenish that power naturally; therefore, he must make sacrifices to generate more magical power.
The extent of a wizard's knowledge is limited to which spells a wizard knows and can cast. Magic may also be limited by its danger; if a powerful spell can cause grave harm if miscast, wizards are likely to be wary of using it. Other forms of magic are limited by consequences that, while not inherently dangerous, are at least undesirable.
People who work magic are called by several names in fantasy works, and terminology differs widely from one fantasy world to another. While derived from real-world vocabulary, the terms wizard, witch, warlock, enchanter/enchantress, sorcerer(ess), druid(ess), magician, mage, and magus have different meanings depending upon context and the story in question.
The term archmage is used in fantasy works as a title for a powerful magician or a leader of magicians. A common motif in fiction is that the ability to use magic is innate and often rare, or gained through a large amount of study and practice.
Magicians normally learn spells by reading ancient tomes called grimoires, which may have magical properties of their own. Sorcerers in the Hyborean Age often gained powers from such books, which are demarcated by their strange bindings. In worlds where magic is not an innate trait, the scarcity of these strange books may be a facet of the story; in Poul Anderson's A Midsummer Tempest, Prince Rupert seeks out the books of the magician Prospero to learn magic. The same occurs in the Dungeons and Dragons-based novel series Dragonlance Chronicles, wherein Raistlin Majere seeks out the books of the sorcerer Fistandantilus.
Some magicians, even after training, continue their education by learning more spells, inventing new ones (and new magical objects), or rediscovering ancient spells, beings, or objects. For example, Dr. Strange continues to learn about magic even after being named Sorcerer Supreme. He often encounters creatures that haven't been seen for centuries or more. In the same universe, Dr. Doom continues to pursue magical knowledge after mastering it by combining magic with science.
Homo Magi (also called Homo Magus) is a sub-race of naturally magic-wielding humans. According to Doctor Mist, the Homo Magi evolved in a parallel but separate line, alongside Homo Sapiens.[2] Homo Magi are naturally adept at magic; since many humans possesses the Homo Magi gene because of their relationships in the distant past, these humans can learn to use indirect magic by performing rituals, but pure Homo Magi or their direct descendants can use direct magic.
The Homo Magi have existed for as long as the human race, but due to their special abilities, they did not expand as the Homo Sapiens did. Eventually, they started to interbreed with normal humans, resulting in many generations of Homo Magi / Homo Sapiens hybrids. As the number of pure Homo Magi dwindled, they decided to go into hiding.
