“Well, the original vampires that I know of were capable of sucking whole planets dry. The Time Lords actually stepped up as a whole to interfere for the first time in a hundred thousand years. They had to be stopped, or they would move through the universe until there was nothing left. They were never human. In fact, they were huge, giants. It was the first time we committed genocide, and while we saved the universe from the immediate threat, genocide was not something to be proud of. The last of the Vampires, wounded, but not dead, fell on a human exploration ship, and promised the crew eternal life for their help. He made them into creatures very like you described. They managed to hold him in a kind of stasis. But the only thing to return him to power was the blood of Time Lords. Needless to say he didn’t succeed, and his little vampire puppets fell when he did. But it is possible they spread the condition.” The Doctor took a long drink of water. “So while the original and the infected were hardly demons, it’s easy to see where some cultures would mistake them as. The second type I know of are evolved… or mutated humans. Very sensitive to ultraviolet light, they can’t tolerate any sustenance but blood. They have longer life spans than humans, but only about double.”
“Truth is, if you can imagine it, somewhere out there, at some time, it most likely existed. It’s a big universe, and only one of many.” The Doctor finished his mango and tossed it into the wood. “Yet there are still humans in this time period convinced they’re the only life in the universe. You know for all you’re advances, you are still a remarkably egotistical lot.”
“Pot, kettle… you’ll get along great.” Rose announced.
