Say, if anyone was a reverse vampire it'd probably be Chairman Poo. You expect us to think he cures people's blood? With medicine?

[scriver]

he does have a fascimation with vampires...

[Bumber]

Just what is a reverse vampire?

Is it a bat that drinks bat blood and can turn into a human? A vampire that needs sun and crosses? One that injects blood into its victim? Is Jesus a reverse vampire!?

It's more accurately known as a eripmav.

My first real introduction to vampires (in which I read and understood the lore) was actually Anne Rice. . . .  Which was a thing.

In the original Simpsons episode from which the meme is drawn, "reverse vampires" was one of the explanations the kids latched onto for why all the adults in town were rushing into the house before dark, the implication being that the night would kill them. The actual explanation was that Homer was making bank selling an aphrodisiac tonic and the parents were massively horny.

She swallowed the spider to eat the fly, she swallowed the cat to catch the spider...

She swallowed the drider to catch the spider. She swallowed the tarrasque to catch the drider.

The ultralisk?

Btw, am I the only one that rated the old zerg portraits better? They were far more insect and alien like on a good disturbing level. The portraits in SC2 are... more animal like, dunno, thet all look far more cartoony, more earthly and while they all have fanged mouths, far less threatening and disturbing.

[bloop_bleep]

My understanding of a reverse vampire was a creature that pumps blood into its subjects.

They are a massively undervalued part of our hospital system. We thank you for your service, Chairman Poo.

[Frumple]

... probably not the ultralisk, unless we're doing a starcraft/D&D crossover here.

Which, I mean. Maybe? I think I've read something like that before, either zerg or nids or summat hitting forgotten realms land, something in that general direction. There's potential there, zerg et al are nasty creatures but most D&D settings are friggin' death worlds, so...

[Lord Shonus]

The umber hulk is a D&D creature that resembles an ultralisk.

[Eschar]

My understanding of a reverse vampire was a creature that pumps blood into its subjects.

Or people who drink vampire blood, like immortality-greedy adventurers in DF.

I think that would be a "hypervampire".

[Frumple]

The umber hulk is a D&D creature that resembles an ultralisk.

There's ultralisk hero units called torrasque straight up, if you haven't played much starcraft/forgotten the thing existed. It's conceivable someone's played starcraft but little to no D&D, and would recognize them as an ultralisk first and their originating critter not at all.

There's nothing called drider in the (canon, anyway) SC stuff, that I can recall, though, which means it probably wasn't an intentional starcraft reference.

[LordBaal]

Yes, there's a mission on SC Brood War that has the side-quest of dealing with torrasque, a much much tougher than normal ultralisk that respawns every few minutes until you destroy it's very fortified lair.
