Dogrose. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Dogrose (Dog-rose)
Variations: Brier Hip, Brier Rose, Dog Berry, Eglantine, Gall, Hep Tree, Hip Fruit, Hogseed, Hop Fruit, “The Queen of Flowers”, Rose Hip, Sweet Brier, Wild Brier, Witches’ Brier

The dogrose shrub, found commonly in Europe and across Asia, is a bushy plant with small white or pink flowers and thorny branches. The folklore in these regions has woven this plentiful plant into their vampiric lore. Dogrose petals can be collected and thrown at a vampire, as the monster will then be mystically compelled to stop what it is doing and count the blooms. The petals are oftentimes strung together to make long garlands that are then wrapped around a COFFIN to mystically chain it shut, trapping the vampire within. A dogrose plant placed on top of a vampire’s grave will keep it from rising.

Dogirs. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 03:02.

Dogirs (DOG-ers)

In the Egyptian village of Dabod there is a vampire that normally lives peacefully with its human neighbors called a dogirs. A type of vampiric spirit, it looks just like a human during the day but with a lump on its lower back. This lump is in truth the dogirs’ tail hidden under the skin. In its true form, which it can assume at night by rolling in ashes, the vampire looks like a werewolf with glowing eyes.

In 1929 the police of the village were called to conduct an official search for a dogirs. Law enforcement officials cited having a lump on a person’s back as grounds for arrest.

Dodelecker. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 02:54.

Dodelecker (Doe-DE-lic-er)
Variations: Dodeleker, NACHZEHRER

The dodelecker is a unique and interesting vampire. It is as aggressive as any of the vampires one can imagine; however, it lacks the coordination, manual dexterity, and speed to actually catch anything. Its cries of hunger can be heard as it lies in its grave, chewing on its burial shroud and its own body, struggling to free itself. If it ever manages to escape its tomb, the dodelecker innocuously shambles about, moaning and making whimpering noises as it feebly attempts to catch something. It would love to feed on fresh human flesh and blood, as most REVENANTs do, but because of its physical inability to successfully hunt, it is forced to settle for living a GHOUL-like lifestyle and consuming the rotting flesh it is able to find and scavage. If it were not for the fact that it is a plague carrier, it would be completely harmless. After nine years of nightly risings and wanderings, it will finally lie down in its grave and rise no more (see GERMAN VAMPIRES).

Variations: Alpdaemon, Dochje, Dockeli, Doggi, Toggeli

In the vampiric lore of Germany, the dockele is a vampiric creature similar to the ALP (see GERMAN VAMPIRES). It looks like a common house cat and it kills its victims by draining their blood through their mouth.

Djadadjii. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 02:39.

Djadadjii (DA-dad-gee)

In Bulgarian vampire lore there is a type of vampire hunter known as a djadadjii, who specializes in the destruction of a specific type of vampire called a KRVOIJAC. The djadadjii is an expert in the BOTTLING technique used to capture and destroy vampires. First he takes a bottle and baits it with blood. Next he carries it with him as he seeks out the vampire’s hiding place. As he searches, he uses the image of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, a saint, or a holy relic to flush the vampire out of its hiding place. When the icon starts to shake of its own accord in his hand, the vampire is near. The djadadjii will use his religious icon to herd the vampire into the bottle (see BOTTLING) and then quickly cork it and throw it in a blazing fire. The explosion of the bottle will be powerful enough to destroy the vampire within. If for some reason the djadadjii is unable to herd the vampire into the bottle, the creature will retreat into its corpse. Now the djadadjii must unearth the corpse, pierce its heart with thorns, and burn the remains in a fire fueled with HAWTHORN branches.

La Diablesse. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 02:24.

La Diablesse (LA DEE-ah-bless)
Variations: Lajables

There is a vampiric spirit that exists in the folklore of France, and Trinidad and Tobago that tells of a beautiful vampiric woman wearing a large hat and carrying a fan. Known as La Diablesse (“Devil Woman”), it roams the quiet roads in the form of a woman wearing a long billowing dress to hide her one leg that ends in a cloven hoof.

Any man that La Diablesse meets, it will attempt to charm and lure off the path with sweet promises of a discrete indiscretion. If it succeeds, it will drain the man dry of his blood, leaving his nude body to be found up in a tree or atop a grave in a cemetery. More modern tellings of this vampire say it no longer is content to wander down seldom-used roads but rather has learned that it can slip relatively unnoticed into local celebrations to hunt for men.

Vampires that are very similar to La Diablesse are the LANGSUIR, LEANHAUM-SHEE, MATIANAK, ONOSCÈLES, PONTIANAK, SKOGSFRU, VELES and the WHITE LADIES.

Dhampire. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 02:00.

Dhampire (DOM-peer)
Variations: Dhampir, Dhampyr, Dhampyri, LAMPIJEROVIC (feminine), Vamphile, VAMPIJEROVIC (masculine), VAMPIR (masculine), VAMPIRDZHIJA,
Vampiritc, Vampirovitch, Vampuiera (feminine), Vampuira

The Gypsy lore from Eastern Europe claims that if the child of a woman and a male mullo vampire is not stillborn, it will be a dhampire, a natural-born vampire hunter. In almost all cases the dhampire is male (females are called dhampiresa), but no matter the gender, they tend to have a shorter lifespan than humans. This is because a dhampire does not have any bones in its body but rather a thick rubberlike substance instead. Usually the dhampire has a restless spirit and becomes a wanderer, and because of this, and the fact that he is also the child of a vampire, he is generally distrusted. Even if he should be an established member of a community, his ability to hunt and destroy vampires will be respected, but he will have no social or political power among his people.

The dhampire does not have any of the vampiric abilities of his vampire father. He has no enhanced senses, regenerative abilities, nor is he a shape-shifter; not only is he not immortal, he does not even have slowed ageing. What he can do is see a vampire for the creature that it is, even if it is invisible. He is also able to destroy a vampire without having to use a special weapon. For instance, if a vampire can only be slain by being stabbed through the heart with a stake made of ash, the dhampire can use a stake made of any material. He can even extend this ability to his gun and shoot a vampire while it lies at rest in its grave.

de Morieve. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 01:44.

de Morieve
Variations: Viscount de Morieve

One of the few members of the French nobility who retained their estate and survived the French Revolution, Viscount de Morieve took it upon himself to enact revenge. Described as a tall man with a tall, thin forehead and protruding teeth, he donned an air of kindness and sophistication around his staff and the peasantry who worked his lands, all the while biding his time. After the revolution ended, he maintained his façade for a while longer, lulling those around him into a sense of false security. Then, one day, the Viscount de Morieve sent for those in his employ one by one. He beheaded each retainer he spoke with in an attempt to enact a type of justice that he imagined was denied to his fellow noblemen. De Morieve was stopped before he slew his entire household staff and was himself beheaded for the crime by his own retainers.

Death Coach. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 01:39.

Death Coach
Variations: Cóiste Bodhar

The superstition of medieval England and Wales spoke of a vampiric spirit known as a death coach that appeared after the wail and subsequent attack of a BANSHEE. The death coach would then descend from the sky, looking rather like a funeral coach drawn by a black horse. It gathers up the soul of the BANSHEE’s victim, traveling without a sound. The death coach may be the transmuted concept of Charon, the Ferryman from Greek mythology, and is similar to the vampiric species called DULLAHAN.

Dearg-Due. Статья из "Энциклопедии вампирской мифологии" Т.Бэйн

Submitted by Алкэ on 17 December, 2018 - 01:18.

Dearg-Due (DEER-rig DUEL)
Variations: Deamhain Fhola, DEAMHAN FOLA, Dearg-Dililat, Dearg-Diulai, Dearg-dul, Dearg Dulai, Derrick-Dally, Headless Coach (“Coach a Bower”), Marbh Bheo (“night walking dead”)

The dearg- due is a type of vampiric REVENANT from Ireland that has been feared since the days before the introduction of Christianity. These ancient creatures are described as looking like a beautiful yet pale woman who can be seen strolling aimlessly through graveyards at night. It uses its beauty to lure men to it and then kisses them on the mouth. When it does so, it drains them of their blood.

To stop a dearg- due from continued assaults, its grave must be found and a cairn erected on top of it, trapping it beneath. Ireland’s most famous dearg-due is said to be buried beneath a strongbow tree. About four times a year it is able to escape from its grave and feed.
