Nosferatu

Nosferatu Alpha
An alpha is the leader of a nosferatu pack and
is often the progenitor of its members. The
alpha exhibits greater cunning, strength, and
resilience. The alpha, unlike its kind, is capable
of prolonged lucid thinking and can keep its
bloodthirsty urges in check long enough to have
a decent conversation.

Nosferatu Master
The master rules over all nosferatu in a given
region. It is an ancient, malevolent, and powerful
undead being. It is the oldest of all nosferatu,
often the blood parent or origin of the alphas that
serve it, and is revered by its kind. Unlike other
nosferatu, the master is fully lucid, can control its
feral instincts, and has bat-like wings, making it
very dangerous.
