FACTS about The Nosferatu

As discussed in the Definition and History pages, the Nosferatu are not your ordinary, run-of- the- mill vampires. Below, we dispel some of the old wives tales and urban myths surrounding the Nosferatu and list the lesser known truths.

I.	Sunlight does not kill the Nosferatu. Nosferatu, like most predators prefer to conduct their normal activities at night (which is why they are usually pale), however they can & do operate during the daylight hours. Vampires of lesser pedigree cannot do this.
II.	A Nosferatu possesses the strength equivalency of twenty men. Demonstrated on the battlefield during medieval times and quoted by Bram Stoker in 1897
III.	Garlic & Crucifixes offer no protection from the Nosferatu. While these items may work on other weaker types of vampires, a true Nosferatu would laugh in your face. In fact the crucifix is an element of the Nosferatu Coat of Arms and was welded on the shields and body armor of Dracula’s Knights during the 15^th century. Remember, in the beginning Dracula was a loyal servant of God and was fighting to protect the Church and all of Christianity.
IV.	Nosferatu can sometimes cast a reflection in a mirror. While it is true that most of the time vampires do not cast a reflection, some Nosferatu have mastered a skill that allows them to temporarily cast a reflection, thereby making a Nosferatu much harder to detect
V.	A Nosferatu can change into a Werewolf or wolf. The Nosferatu are the only vampires that can do this.
VI.	Not all Nosferatu are aligned with or controlled by Satan. While this whole thing started with Vlad Dracula’s belief that God had forsaken him first, and a subsequent curse/deal with the devil...not all Nosferatu are evil - most are generally just natural born predators, neither good nor bad.
VII.	The Nosferatu are the enforcers (death dealers) of the Underworld. Being the strongest and most highly skilled of all the supernatural predators, it is in the best interest of the Nosferatu to be the enforcers of the “Masquerade”.
