A hungry psychic vampire appears in shades of gray, but when it has gorged on psychic energy, it becomes flushed with natural colors once again, and if it’s careful, it might pass for a living creature. After 1 round, a spawn can overcome its revulsion of the object and function normally each round it makes a DC 25 Will save.

The two main versions of vampires that exist in D&D are vampire lords and vampire spawn. A humanoid slain in this way and then buried in the ground rises the following night as a vampire spawn under the vampire’s control.
