Believe it or not, Zompire Dracularius has fallen to 2nd on Google.  In a twisted turn of events, TJ's site has now taken first spot for some unknown reason (heck, it's not like he has many inlinks or any amazing thing that should get him there!).  Don't worry, though, because we are working around the clock to regain the top spot for all of our loyal fans before the competition ends on December 16, 2009.  www.Zompire-Dracularius.com will reign again!

All About Dracula

Last Updated on Tuesday, 13 October 2009 05:21

Dracula, properly named "Count Dracula", is the basis for the new species of Zompire Dracularius, and is also the title character of Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula.  Count Dracula is a vampire, sorcerer, and Transylvanian nobleman, and is centuries in age.  He masks his inconceivable evil nature with an aristocratic charm in daily life.  He had studied black arts in the days of his youth and later took up a spot in the military.  Dracula returned from death by using the black arts he had learned, and lived for several centuries as a vampire with three wives in his castle.

When his plans were interfered with, Dracula would often go into flurries of rage (much like the Zompire Dracularius does).  He feels very strongly about his heritage as a warrior, and prides himself on being infused with the blood of multiple heroes.  Communing with the dead is one supernatural ability that Dracula possesses.  Also, he has large amounts of physical strength, equivalent to that of 20 men.

As he is an "undead", most methods of killing him are useless.  Instead, one must drive a wooden stake through his heart or shoot him with a sacred bullet (in some theories).  He can manipulate weather, defy gravity to a certain extent, control minds, and requires no sustenance other than fresh blood (which rejuvenates him).  Many of these properties exist in the Zompire Dracularius.

The vampire, which is where the Zompire Dracularius gets its name, is a legendary creature that feeds off the blood of living creatures.  They are generally described as undead individuals who emerge at night to drink the blood of the living.

The term "vampire" has undergone many different uses, dating back to ancient tales of supernatural beings consuming the blood and flesh of living humans.  The Devil was considered to be synonymous with a vampire.  Almost every nation has associated demons with blood drinking.  In India, tales exist of ghoul-like beings that would inhabit corpses.  Also, the fanged Indian goddess of Kali was linked with the drinking of blood.  Ancient Greek mythology included Empusa, the daughter of Hecate, who would transform into a young woman, seduce men, and feast on their blood as they slept.  This may give some insight into the mind of the feared Zompire Dracularius.

European folklore included myths surrounding vampires.  There was even a frenzy of vampire sightings in Eastern Europe during the 18th century.  This sparked hunts of potential revenants ending in frequent stakings and grave diggings.  Even government officials engaged in the hunting of presumed vampires.  While most legends were quelled during the Age of Enlightenment, the belief in vampires grew dramatically and created mass hysteria throughout Europe.

The vampire has taken on a very different characterization in modern culture.  Bram Stoker created the image of "Dracula", which also makes up the name Zompire Dracularius.  This image has take the vampire to a new cultural level.  The vampire is a very rich subject for the gaming and film industry.  Notable films include Nosferatu, Dracula, Dracula's Daughter, and Hammer Horror.
