Predator Types

● Alleycat
Alleycat’s practice assault style feeding in the streets, quietly adding to the violent crime
statistics of their city and hoping their victims don’t remember the part where their throat
gets ripped open. Kindred often do this out of necessity because they have no official
territory, are too monstrous looking to use more “face” based feeding methods, or simply
love the taste of fearful Choleric blood. Brujah are especially likely to feed like this,
letting out their violent impulses while feeding in hopes of controlling them when not.

○ Resonances: Choleric and rarely Animalistic
○ Predator Pool: Strength+Brawl

● Bagger
Baggers procure blood bags and drink them cold, something few Kindred can maintain
and fewer still find enjoyable. Often this is because of moral issues with feeding from
humans, an interest in studying the different kinds and properties of blood, or a
convenient proximity to the medical world. Those who pursue Sorcery or Alchemy
commonly utilize this method of feeding.

Medicine (Blood)

 ● Blood Leech
Blood Leeches can’t stand to feed from humans and instead feed from other vampires,
either by capturing them, demanding blood as payment for services, or in service to an
elder vampire. Banu Haqim are infamous for practicing this method, though how many
truly are Blood Leeches is debatable.

Customers utilize systems already in place that allow for the easy access to blood.
Human trafficking, whether done by mortals or vampires, allows for easy procurement of
regular meals if you have the means to pay and the stomach for it. With this method a
vampire can comfortably feed from their vessels however they like. Keep them at home,
call them when needed, kill them straight away; when you own your meal you get to
play with your food.

 ● Cryptid
Taking advantage of popular myths and urban legends you impersonate a folkloric
monster or local legend. Sasquatch, chupacabra, mole people; all have their hunters
who with you become the hunted. Your victims are often only too glad to have
encountered such a famed creature, and those who aren’t still get 15 minutes of fame
as consolation off their harrowing tale. This feeding method does stretch the definition of
the masquerade, and those who partake in it keep it on the down low in kindred circles.
Nosferatu are a natural fit for this method, not even needing a disguise.

drunk vessel exiting a bar one night, pay for a quick bite with an escort the next, and
stumble upon a dying moose another. To continuously improvise is a risk, lessened
somewhat by not staying in one locale for too long. Gangrel and Ravnos both commonly
practice this style.

○ Predator Pool: Strength+ManipulationORIntimidation

● Farmer
Farmers feed exclusively off of animals to remain humane, and are largely respected for
this even if most vampires find it somewhat odd or personally disgusting. Animal Blood
can never fully slake one’s Hunger, and vampires of Blood Potency 3 or higher cannot
gain anything from animal blood without the use of Animal Succulence. This makes this
feeding method uncommon outside of the Gangrel clan.

● Graverobber
Graverobbers frequent morgues, funeral homes, and churches; feeding off cold blood
from corpses, or sometimes mourners for their exquisitely Melancholic blood. Vampires
of this persuasion are often more comfortable with the dead and somber than the lively
party goers that most of kindred society feed from. Hecata especially benefit from this
method, because dead bodies don’t scream.
○ Add a Specialty in Occult (Burial Rituals) or Medicine (Cadavers)
○ Gain one dot of Fortitude or Oblivion

 ● Ghost-maker
Ghost-makers make people disappear and keep them captive for as long as they can,

information. This method is incredibly cruel, but if done well is very effective at keeping
the masquerade, as people disappear every day.

Monopolist may have sway over coma wards, brothels, or another kind of herd; and has
secured their right to feed from this group over all other kindred in the city. The
Monopolist thus wields power, as they have a reliable blood source to lend out as a
favor to needy licks. Ventrue aspire to this predator type, though for them it carries with
it making their feeding preference open knowledge.

human’s life is too great for them to resist. To justify this indulgence they tend to feed

shelters in their hunts. Reapers stalk through their feeding grounds unnoticed, swooping
