Vampires

Vampires are undead supernatural creatures that have been encountered by the Winchesters, Gordon Walker and other hunters. Little has been revealed about vampires. They normally can only be killed by beheading. Blood from the dead can also be used to incapacitate them briefly. Vampires are immortal and do not age, and while sunlight can hurt them (John Winchester likened it to a really bad sunburn), it's not lethal. Vampires are organized into nests, with eight to ten vampires residing in each, and mate for life. The younger members of the nest typically do the hunting for their elders, bringing back humans to be fed upon for days or even weeks.



All vampires originate from the Alpha Vampire.

Although human blood is prefered, vampires can survive by ingesting the blood of animals, although one such vampire, Lenore, refers to cow blood as 'disgusting'.

Vampires reproduce virally, by injecting humans with their blood or having said humans drink their blood. This is the only known method of creation among vampires. Vampirism is rarely curable, the only known cure being a ritual recorded by an ancestor of the Campbell family of hunters. The ritual requires the blood of the vampire who converted the subject, and will not work if the subject has ingested human blood.
