Dhampir/Dhampyr/Dhampressa(female)
The Dhampir are from Roma folklore. They are the children born from a human and a vampire. They are often the children of a human and a Mullo. They have psychic abilities, can detect and kill vampires, but have tragically short lives. The nature of their unnatural conception shields them from evil and assures that they will not become evil. Their life is shortened due to genetic flaws, which causes their skeleton to become cold and causes the Dhampir to die in their thirties or forties. Dhampir always seek to destroy their vampiric parent before their death. Citations: Maberry, Jonathan. Vampire Universe: The Dark World of Supernatural Beings That Haunt…

They can also be repelled by making bread from the horse’s hair along with salt, meal, and bat blood, rubbing the bread on the horse’s hooves, then hiding the mixing bowl used to make this bread and saying “Tarry, pipkin, in this tree, till such time as full ye be.”…
