- Actually, in some of the gypsy legends of vampires, they are quite capable
- of mating and having offspring (although if memory serves, the myths usually
- make the male the vampire in such a liason). On the other hand, remember
- Lilith (no, let's not resurrect that thread): There are (as discussed
- previously) elements of both vampirism and succubism in her makeup.
