Vampire Bestiary 5E

The Bestiary is an illustrated compendium of Vampires inspired by Theresa Bane’s Encyclopedia of Vampire Mythology. We’ve taken that foundation and expanded the lore for every vampire, spotlighting their unique powers and quirks, adding GM advice, artwork, and full 5E stat blocks—everything you need to drop rare and intriguing vampires straight into your adventure or campaign.

Designed for small parties (1–3 players) at levels 3–10, this bestiary unleashes brand-new monsters, each with its own distinctive abilities and backstory.

Does your D&D party love vampire tales and happen to be brewing a new adventure?

So do we—and that’s exactly why we’re putting together this bestiary. We want to fill our campaign with vampires no one has ever met before, each steeped in fresh lore that sets the perfect eerie mood. If you’re thinking this book is all about Dracula and the usual pop-culture vamps, think again. We’ve dug up lesser-known blood-drinkers whose powers will truly catch your players off guard.

Inside the bestiary you’ll find the most intriguing vampires we could unearth: their origins, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and tips on how to fight them—whether that means a rare ritual or a clever trap. 

Let’s make this unique bestiary together—come along and explore the world of these vampires with us!
