Nelapsi
The Nelapsi is a form of vampire from Czechoslovakian myth. They are incredibly powerful and can kill just by looking at someone. Frequently, they cause disease to spread across areas where they’re present. Viciously, they are known to slaughter entire villages, leaving no humans or animals alive. Sometimes they rip victims apart with their teeth, while other times they squeeze the victim and break their bones. When angry, they’re thought to torture their victims before killing them. They can be slowed down at night by placing a large number of small objects for it to count. This keeps it busy all night, forcing it to return to sleep at dawn.…

Ogolijen
The Ogoljen are from the Czech Republic and specifically Bohemia. They are bloodthirsty undead. They resemble old naked, balding men with rotting skin. Their breath is so bad it can knock someone out from ten feet away. They can be killed by being burned to ashes or decapitated. If they are decapitated, their bodies must be buried so they cannot rise again. Dirt from their graves can be used as a charm to repel the creatures. They can be stopped by being dug up during the day, burying them at crossroads, and sewing shrouds to their navels. Citations: Maberry, Jonathan.
