Star Vampires

Star Vampires are a type of monsters in The Manse on Soracca.

Description
Star Vampires are invisible creatures from outer space. The body of one is gelatinous and conical, with a bulbous head that tappers down into a spindly mess of tentacles. These tentacles are their primary means of feeding. They hunt unwitting prey by latching onto their bodies with a myriad of suckers and quickly draining them of all their blood. Once a Star Vampire has fed, it becomes much more visible, as its body is filled with the blood of its victims.

Behavior
Happening upon a Star Vampire is mostly a matter of chance, though some do stake-out particular areas. Once one begins to hunt its prey, a low chitter can be heard as it approaches. Star Vampires are one of the largest monsters in the game, and their long bodies make them difficult to dodge. However, their bodies will very briefly become visible on their approach, so a keen-eyed player can spot one and attempt to move to a more open area.

Star Vampires only appear in outdoor areas like The Shores and The Deepwood. However, on rare occasions, one may appear in the garden areas of the Ground Floor. If this happens, it will pursue the player indoors.

Killing a Star Vampire is impossible without the Starcycler, a secret weapon found in The Catacombs. However, the player can push Star Vampires back with the Tremor Totem. Because of this, it is recommended that players simply avoid the Star Vampire as much as possible. Its slow movement makes it easy to out-maneuver, provided you can figure out its location.
