An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Actually, vampires are NOT fictional creatures, they're LEGENDARY creatures, as are werewolves! There's a big difference between fiction and legend: Fiction is completely made up. Legend is a non-historical and unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical. While in the main these are accepted as fiction (and tend to be), the difference is that there are people who will explicitly believe them, whether out of religious affiliation or just because they choose to.

  • Actually, vampires are NOT fictional creatures, they're LEGENDARY creatures, as are werewolves! There's a big difference between fiction and legend: Fiction is completely made up. Legend is a non-historical and unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical. While in the main these are accepted as fiction (and tend to be), the difference is that there are people who will explicitly believe them, whether out of religious affiliation or just because they choose to. Like most legendary creatures, vampires have defining characteristics that make them recognizable. Mermaids are half woman, half fish. Selkies have seal skins. Centaurs are half human, half horse. Fauns are half human, half goat. Ghosts are the spirits or souls of dead people. Zombies are the mindless, reanimated corpses of dead people with a hunger for human flesh. Werewolves are people who, against their will, turn into a ferocious, terrifying beast every full moon. Vampires are frightening, nocturnal, unholy and undead creatures of the night, they have fangs and they feed off the blood of others. While there is room for creativity within those limits, ignoring them completely is a no-no. "Creativity" and "Fiction" do not justify completely ignoring the archetypal vampire when creating supposedly vampiric characters.
