Vampire (Grabbed by the Ghoulies)

Vampires are a type of Ghouly in Grabbed by the Ghoulies. They only appear in a few scenes during Chapter 3: The Riddle. Vampires have a total of 40 Energy.

Vampires are pale, ample-chested women with fangs, orange eyes and short, purple hair. They wear blue, strapless dresses with red heels. Vampires are always concealed within a coffin, which has a missing bottom part, allowing them to walk around. Their coffins are dark brown with gold nails and a red interior. The interior side of their coffin door has a handle for them to open it. Every Vampire has a brown and yellow vampire bat sitting on her shoulder.

Vampires wander around with their coffin door closed, although they sometimes open it to look around or even if they bump into their surroundings. Like other Ghoulies, Vampires do not go after Cooper unless he is nearby. Vampires usually attack by hitting their coffin door into Cooper, knocking him dizzy, and then hitting Cooper with her bat. Alternatively, the Vampire may attack by opening her coffin door and running toward Cooper with her hand reaching out. If the Vampire catches Cooper, she forces him into her coffin and closes its door. During this, the coffin grounds itself and shakes while pink hearts float out of it, suggesting that the Vampire is making love to Cooper. During this event, Cooper's Energy quickly decreases by 1 point. The player can shake the Left Thumbstick to help Cooper escape from the coffin. After the Vampire attacks Cooper, she lets out an evil laugh. Both of her attacks deal 4 Energy of damage to Cooper each.

Like Vampire Chickens, Vampires can only be defeated if Cooper uses Ol' Edna to shoot garlic cloves at them. Cooper only needs to hit a Vampire twice to defeat it; the first hit simply pushes her back, but the second hit knocks her over and defeats her. Vampires are only vulnerable while their coffin door is open.
