A Comparison of Vampires and Werewolves
First, lets take a look at each mythological creature, and then we can compare and differentiate between the two.
Vampires
The creatures who roam in the shadows on the night. Having no issues living their undead lives amongst humans and other beings, they slying live their lives right under our noses and most often are not even noticed until they are breathing down your neck.
Vampires are strong willed and embued with powers of seduction and enchanment that makes them a tough bug to crush. With the supernatural ability to pursuade the weak human mind into a controlled subserviant prey, and the super human virtue of undead strength, they are a formidable opponent to any other being.
Their degree of supernatural power and prowess is different and unique to each vampire, just as much as a finger print is to a human being. Some will have brute strength, unmatched by anything else, while others will be more suited to shape shifting and powers of illusion.
Living on the blood that once ran their vanes as a human, their minds do not need any substance to survive and thrive, but their undead corpses need blood to keep from drying up. Because of this, they have to replenish their bodies often, if they are to continue on in their path of evil spirited mischieve.
Vampires are often endowed with senses that are beyond the human range. They can see farther, jump higher, feel more intensely, and hear more precisely than a human can. This makes it difficult to track or subdue a Vampire, as they are much better equipped at hunters.
There are very few visable differences between a living human being and a vampire. It becomes quite a skill to distinguish the differences between the two. Naturally, with any creature that is not truly alive, they have very pale skin, due to the blood that is no longer regularly corsing through their veins. There have been debates over the physical diffence in their teeth. Some will say that they have dozens of sharp tiny teeth, while others debate that they only have two long sharp fangs. It is still not official what set of chompers vampires come equipped with, and since their is no real scientific documentation on Vampires dental records, it is still up in the air.
There have been many debates through out the centuries on the best pest removal proceedure of Vampires. There are very few records of 'friendly' or 'tame' Vampires, and so it tends to be in the best interest of most living creatures to keep the Vampires
