Vampires as a species, can easily blend into society by assuming their human form. This allows them to lead somewhat normal lives, dispite their sinister true nature. However, their true appearance is animalistic and horrifying. In this state, their irises shine, and their eyes turn completely black, or reddish and blood shot.

transformations, as it can be very drastic depending on the Vampire, though seemingly all Vampires have jaws that can almost stretch over an entire Human shoulder, enhancing their bite further. Their canine teeth are usually quite long, and seem to be the most prominent of teeth in their jaws. When a Vampire takes its true form, its teeth become sharp, lethal fangs. They have two predatory forms, with the lesser of the two only allowing them pronounced canine teeth, completely white skin, visible black veins, and unnaturally, almost completely, bloodshot eyes.

The lesser form's appearance occurs when a vampire desires to frighten prey, reveal their true nature, or when they are close to feeding.

Therefore, a pure soul bitten by a Vampire will experience painful and violent convulsions, as well as developing a completely pale white skin and having milky color in their eyes, until the person dies. It is possible for a Vampire to save a victim from dying in this manner by turning the victim, which becomes possible after the victim is bitten already. The Vampiric transformation is complete in a minute or less, and after the fangs leave the victims flesh, the victim will collapse, half-conscious, and with hazy and/or distorted senses- a similar effect to that of being poisoned. They will not have the strength to stand for only a minute, but will have full energy and vitality immediately after. Once this occurs, they then experience a Vampire's less monstrous transformation, though their more predatory form can be triggered through the channeling of anger and/or strain, or a need to survive and fight.

In Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, vampires aren't killed by sunlight and remain unaffected by holy objects, prayers, or water. They can only be harmed and killed by silver, and/or decapitation. If they harmed by silver in a way that is fatal to a normal living creature, they will die.

Also, by God's decree, a Vampire is incapable of killing another Vampire, as "only the living can kill the dead." When a Vampire attempts to slay another, they are held back by a possibly mystical, unseen force, much like opposing magnetic forces. However, a Vampire can physically attack another and harm them, though they cannot be two inches close to another Vampire if they attempt lethal force. In other words, a Vampire cannot directly kill another Vampire.
