The Classic Werewolf
Base on most sorces that I've collected, they mostly indicate that the classic werewolf moves around on two legs much as a human would. And that they would only transformed when there's a full-moon; the only way to killed them is by means of a silver objects. Even if its shot on the arms or legs, the traces of silver is fatal to this nocturnal hunters; they will eventually die of silver poisoning and return to its human form; this is unless they are able to severed off the part that is being hit.
The Atlas Vampire

One of the creepiest and oddest unsolved crime of all time took place in the Atlas neighborhood of Stockholm, Sweden. The case was aptly named the Atlas Vampire murder.

Lilly Lindström was a 32 year old prostitute living in the Atlas area of Stockholm and was found dead in her apartment on May 4, 1932 after her friend Minnie Jansson, a 35 year old prostitute who lived on the floor below her, alerted the police that she had been missing. When the police broke down Lilly's door after receiving no answer; they found her laying face down on her bed.  She had been dead for about 2 to 3 days. She was completely naked with condom still stuck midway in her rear end. It is likely that the last customer that patronize her, might also be her killer.

Lindström had been killed by blunt force trauma to the head, with multiple blows that resulted in her demise. When police found her bludgeoned body, her clothing was on a chair beside her, neatly folded. Perhaps this compulsion to be spick and span helps explain why the Atlas Vampire drained her blood.  Furthermore, saliva was found on her neck and other areas of her body. Most disturbingly,  Lindeström's body was found drained of blood but there was no evidence as to how it had been drained. She has not been hung upside down and there was no entry point where a siphon could have sucked the blood from her. As a result, this is considered one of the most notable unsolved Swedish murders till this day.

Police found a very clean crime scene when they came upon Lindeström's body, but one strange detail would eventually lead to a gruesome deduction - her body was almost completely drained of blood and there was no obvious explanation for how this happened. A bloodstained gravy ladle was found near to her body, and it is believed that the cutlery was used by the killer to drink her blood. Due to this, the unknown killer was labeled the Atlas Vampire.

Up to nine suspects were questioned for the murder. Most of them were her clients, but they were all ruled out as the perpetrator. After that, the case went completely cold, with not a single suspect or any other trace of the Atlas Vampire ever turning up. The crime scene would be a forensic investigator ’s field day as it was laden with the murderer’s semen, hair samples, saliva and other types of highly tangible evidence like the fingerprints on the ladle,but this was a time way before DNA testing was available.

To date, the case of the Atlas vampire is still so intriguing to the Swedish people that it occupy a display case in Stockholm’s Police Museum. Though the Atlas Vampire was uncanny in his abilities to avoid police detection, and obviously blood-thirsty; he probably is long dead by now. Unless, of course, that is he truly is an undead bloodsucker.

The Beast Of Gevaudan

This is the werewolf that terrorised and savagely mutilated civilians back in the 1764 in the south central regions of France. The attacks were increasingly brutal and the victims include women and children, the victims hav their vital organs & hearts rip out. The inhabitants of Le Gevaudan believed that the monster was of supernatural origin and is invincible, it was later came to be known as the Beast of Gevaudan.

Before more accurate resorces revealed that this werewolf-like beast that's terriorising Le Gevaudan is far from a man into beast monster; most information I've came acrossed(including woodcuts which accompanying the writings) in the past, probably in the early eighties, seems to have indicated that its a werewolf thats killing those people.

Vampire Hound
Another breed of vampires, this time the hounds that stand guard at castle Dracula. They have eyes that gleams at night and huge bat-like wings that enable it to take flight. By dawn they would tranforms themselves into statues and perched on the balcony and pass off as gargoyles. This vampire guard-dogs are able to transformed into horses when they master decided to go out on some nocturnal feastings, isn't that convenient!
The Vrykolakas
The Vrykolakas is a Greek vampire. The Greeks have unsurpassed persistence in their belief of the vampire folklores, that's perhaps why the belief in supernatural creatures that drank blood and attacked humans are a long-standing tradition there, even till this date. The word Vrykolakas (singular) is a borrowing from Slavic and is derived from the root words which means 'werewolf' or lycanthrope, and somehow over time it had obscurely blended with vampirism; and I had kept this in mind when designing the overall out-look of the Vrykolakas.
Vampire Transformed

It is known that the regular vampire is able to take flight by transforming itself into this bat-like blood-sucker that roams about in the night searching for potential victims. Traditionally, vampires also have the ability to turn to mist, rats or even wolves.

Modern medicine practitioner have came up with a possible excuse for the existence of vampires; they attribute it to a disease which they explained as Clinical Vampirism; which is sort of psychological disorder that involve aspects of necrophilia, sadism, cannibalism and a unusual fascination with blood.

The Moca Vampire ( El Vampiro De Moca )

This vampiric cryptid pre-dated the infamous Chupacabra, aka the goat-sucker of Puerto Rico by almost 20 years. Starting in late February of 1975, a series of bizarre livestock killings complete with the   Chupacabra's trademark exsanguination took place in the municipality of Moca, which can be found in the northwest of the island of Puerto Rico. Though the population of Moca was plunged into a collective state of fear due to the gruesome ways their farm animals died and also totally devoid of blood, the local community in the Barrio Rocha region begins to blame it on the works of the devil.

The first person to witnessed the Moca Vampire was Maria Acevedo, who described it as around four to five feet in height, it was also described as being similar in appearance to a winged prehistoric bird, with flaming huge eyes and sharp fangs. It landed atop her home, and clambered about her zinc roof, making a series of racket in the process.

A man named Juan Muniz, was also said to have been attacked by this nightmarish entity. Together with the increase in nocturnal UFO sightings from within the proximity of the livestock attacks, theories begin shifting to the idea of the  unknown assailant possibly being an alien, rather than something supernatural. Though the modus operandi of the Moca Vampire was similar to that of the Chupacabra, its reign of terror was more short-lived.

Just as the panic-stricken community of Moca was at a lost of measures to counter these attacks, matters came to a sudden and inexplicable halt. Shortly before the end of June, the sightings, encounters and attacks by this vampiric monstrosity was no more; it just vanished as quickly as it surfaced.
