Films: Bering Sea Vampires (2013)
Alias: None
Type: Natural
Location: Ocean/Civilized Area
Height/Weight: That of average humans.
Affiliation: Neutral
Summary: Vampires are boring. Monster bats are better. But when you truly want something original and blood-sucking, look to nature. As in, look anywhere in nature. It's rather simple to turn any beast into one that would drive sailors positively insane with paranoia and fear. Just make sure you have the budget for it, next time.
History: Somewhere in the Bering Sea, the night has become a nightmare for the people who work near the water. For deep below lurk a new breed of predator. One that can burst out of the sea and onto the land to tear victims apart and feast on their blood. But these Bering Sea vampires had better not get too cocky. They are numerous and brutal, but they are not invincible...
Notable Kills: One acts as a natural iron maiden before biting a guy's face off, and another decapitates a person while they're on a motorcycle (that blows up).
Final Fate: Many of the vampires are killed by blunt weaponry and bright lights. But most of them are taken out by an exploding boat, the last one being fed to a running propeller. For the moment, it seems that the threat of the sea vampires is over.
Powers/Abilities: Can traverse and glide on land with ease. They also have poisonous barbs on their tails, retractable spines on their fins, and an ability to put their young in others' bodies.
Weakness: They are so sensitive to bright light that their skin will burn. If exposed for long enough, they explode. But conventional means work all the same.
Scariness Factor: 3-Even if the bad CGI gets in the way a lot, you cannot deny the inventiveness and creepiness of these strange creatures. They look like pitch-black ghouls dredged up from the worst tale of sea isolation, their powers and means of mutilating you are painful to think about, and they came in droves when they assaulted our characters. That said, the aforementioned effects are a bit of a blight, and their weakness to the light is rather absurd. Most vampires just get burned, no explosions of gore necessary.
Trivia: -These creatures closely resemble stingrays and batfish. And before you ask, that last one is a real thing. They often live at the very bottom of the sea, and travel via stubby "legs" that carry them across the sand. They are not harmful in the slightest.
-While stingrays are not vampiric in the slightest, the monsters have characteristics like that of the vampire squid (which isn't actually a bloodsucker either, but it's the thought that counts). Namely, the spines on their fins are like the barbs, or cirri, that are all over the vampire squid's tentacles for extra grip.
