Trading growth and Chrysalis for vampiric power and the promise of eternity, the few Draconum that have joined with the Necropolis Sect to become Vampires have not regretted their decisions. Able to sneak and feed through crowded cities, and to fly from one building to the next in pursuit of prey, the Vampiric Draconum is a beast that most sane Warlords outright fear. While the Sect's Necromantic ritual that transforms the living into undead vampires is agonizingly painful, it is no more painful than the Chrysalis process that all Draconum must undergo at least once in their lives. The best part of all is that the need for Chrysalis is abandoned, as is the desire to constantly pursue combat with all comers. In place of the martial call is a blind fury and hatred towards the living, and an utter devotion to the Sect, their masters, and the Dark Prophet who sanctioned their place within the Necropolis.

Word is spreading of a new martial Order beginning to form within the Necropolis Sect; one made up of Draconum and Scalesworn who have sworn unto new masters in the hope of eternity and unlimited power.

The Vampiric Draconum gets tougher over its first few clicks (with increasing attack, defense, and damage values), coupled with Command, Fligh,t and Limited Invisibility. These abilities should keep it safe from ranged attacks while you get it into position to attack. After it loses those abilities, it gains Vampirism, so it can stay at or around its toughest levels, and Necromancy, so it can restock your army. Considering its damage value at this point, you may have a hard time justifying the use of Necromancy, but it’s always open to you. Farther down the dial it gains Venom, Battle Fury, and then Berserk. This is a great support or close­-combat piece. The Vampiric Draconum is an Elite warrior who works with the Draconum or the Necropolis Sect.
