Upyr

Upyr (Oo-PEER)

Variations: Oupyr, Uppyr

This Russian vampire revenant is created when a heretic, sorcerer, or witch dies or as the child of a werewolf and a witch. Active between noon and midnight it looks like a normal person and preys on the children of a family and then moves on to the parents. After draining the victim of blood it will open a hole in the chest with its ironlike teeth and consume the heart.

Its grave can only be found by attaching a spool of thread to its clothing and following the thread. The grave must be soaked in Holy water and a stake driving though it in a single blow or the vampire will still rise. Another method of destruction is to decapitate the vampire and burn its corpse to ashes.
