Blutsauger

The Blutsauger is a vampiric German boogeyman.

Physical appearance
The Blutsauger had most of the typical traits people associate with vampires: It used to be human, it preys on the living by night, it loathes the sun - but it's covered completely in fur and it doesn't have a skeleton.

Legend
Blutsaugers are said to be rare. While some vampires could create more of their kind with a simple bite, the Blutsauger could only convert new victims by convincing them to voluntarily eat dirt from its own grave.
