Nuit’s corruption of human blood works similarly, to some degree, as that of other demons from the Outer Darkness. Being a goddess more aligned with the night and death, her minions walk a line between the living and the dead. However, while her curse affects the spirit and is spiritual in essence, blood is a physical corporeal substance native to the Physical World. Like all genetic material in this chaotic place, every time a vampire forms, there stands a chance for mutation within their strain. Oftentimes, on these rare occurrences, the afflicted vampire obtains a singularly useful ability- perhaps to shape-shift or to sexually reproduce. In some cases, due to circumstances in a given area or population, a vampire strain might spread like wildfire. It could also be that people of certain descent and DNA might be more prone to become particularly affected by strains of vampirism.

The Varcolac Strain or Varcolac Vampires have generally mottled, brown flesh. Having first developed in and around Romania, they have a wealth of local folklore regarding them- even saying that they are the causes of eclipses. They generally have shifty personalities and behaviors, likely because they can literally shift between vampire and wolfman. In some ways similar to a skinwalker, the varcolacs can become feral, wild monsters. Covered in thick fur with sharp teeth and claws, they prowl and hunt like a werewolf. They are undead, but are wholly different than a vulkodlak. Oftentimes, these are loners in the Nightbred world and tend to keep to themselves. However, on Walpurgis Night in a sort of mockery, varcolacs in a general area will find each other and swarm as packs across the landscape to devour anyone in their paths. While in vampire form, their bite works as any other Nightbred, however, when they are wolfmen, they do not bite and suck blood, but gorge on the entire bodies of their victims.
