[edit] Physical Description
The Great Vampires were colossal humanoids with grey skin and wings. Like lesser vampires, Great Vampires required blood to survive, but due to their large size they needed considerably more. Great Vampires were extremely powerful and one individual could drain a whole planet dry. They had the ability to absorb energy, such as from weapons, and were able to survive numerous minor wounds. The only way to kill one was to stab them through the heart, usually with a iron stake. More powerful Great Vampires needed to have their heart fully destroyed in order to kill them. (DW: State of Decay)
[edit] History
[edit] Reign
The Great Vampires suddenly appeared in the universe, causing mass destruction and chaos. (DW: State of Decay) The Great Vampires rampaged through the cosmos during the Dark Times. (DW: The Infinite Quest)
[edit] War with the Time Lords
Eventually Time Lords hunted these creatures down in a long and bloody war, using bowships to pierce their hearts. Though the Time Lords won, they incurred heavy casualties. Even then, the leader of the Vampires escaped into the smaller universe of E-Space. After time, the records of this war were lost and passed into legend, but every Time Lord, even to the the Doctor's time had a solemn directive to kill any Great Vampire they might find. (DW: State of Decay)
