Bantu

The Bantu (this being separate from the Bantu people group) are from the Republic of Zambia. They are undead vampiric creatures. They are formed from the death of an evil person or from someone who rises from the grave due to improper burial rites. They are drawn to blood, even a singular drop. They will begin to decompose if they don’t consume enough blood. Victims often survive and wake up with a wound and no memory of the attack. If a single drop of blood falls on the ground, it must be dug up and buried in a secret location to avoid attracting the Bantu. Whoever lost the drop of blood will also require ritual purification.
