Higher grade vampires of the three different recognized tribes differ from their lower grade kindred by a few differences:
From strongest to weakest top to bottom, to tribally related variants next to each other

Tdet Tribe

True Higher Vampire (Vampires Superiores) (Though each tribe has some marked differences they are considered from the same species.)
- Camouflage- A True Higher Vampire is capable of appearing just like a human though their canine teeth are a little longer than a normal human's.
- True Higher vampires don't need to drink blood to survive. Rather, it's like addictive alcohol to them, in that they can become drunk from it. Additionally, drinking blood increases the strength of their abilities. Though they also suffer the effects of whatever is in the blood itself (i.e alcohol, poison, etc).
- Can turn invisible, bewitch with their gaze and possess telepathy.
- Immunity to sunlight to the point of not being bothered by it though it can somewhat hamper some of their powers.
- Polymorphy (Limited)
- Can take on a human form, in this and all other forms at will, a True Higher Vampire can evade detection from magical charms such as a Witchers medallion or a Mage's magical senses.
- Can take on a humanoid-bat hybrid form, in this form, a True Higher Vampire has the ability of Claw Retraction, as this is one of the main offensive abilities of this form, along with superhuman speed and strength, a single True Higher Vampire can tear apart squads of men in seconds.
- Can take on a huge bat form. This form can also fly, but this ability can only be done during a full moon.
- Can turn into mist to access areas that wouldn't be accessable by normal means.
- True Immortality- A True Higher Vampire can only be permenantly killed by another True Higher Vampire.
- In the event the True Higher Vampire is 'killed' by someone or something that is not another True Higher Vampire it results in a regenaritive coma, though the amount of damage done to them determines their recovery time (may take months, years or decades depending on the damage). This coma can be sped up by another True Higher Vampire 'nursing' the other back to health accelerating the process by leaps and bounds.
- Unique powers- A True Higher Vampire usually has a singular unique gift that they alone possess, for example:
- Immunities:
- Silver- Does not cause discomfort or pain by touching, though higher levels of damage with this medium cause pain.
- Fire- Does not cause discomfort or pain by touching, though higher levels of damage with this medium cause pain.
- Most mainstream ways of extermination. (Cuts, blunt force damage, etc) If it does damage slower than the vampire heals its not effective.
- Resistances: Iron and steel do not cause as much damage as silver does to them so using a silver sword is preferable when fighting them.
