vampire
Fears garlic, stakes
A vampire is a mythical creature that rises from death to drink the blood of the living, typically by biting the neck.
Vampires in folklore and fiction are associated with immortality, nocturnal activity, and aversion to sunlight, garlic, and crucifixes.
The word extends to people who drain others emotionally or financially: an emotional vampire who exhausts everyone around her.
A vampire bat actually drinks blood, lending biological reality to the myth.
