Vampires

Melkoric Vampires are not the blood-drinking undead spirits of Men; rather they are mighty Demons. These Spirits were once the patrons of harmless normal Bats, but under Morgoth's tutelage they became great doers of evil and sources of terror. They are mighty fliers, and in early times Morgoth frequently used them as messengers. Appearing as gigantic Bats with the faces of hideous Men or Women and the feet of enormous birds of prey, the Vampires were well-equipped to deliver the orders of Morgoth and to spy for him. Vampires can assume other forms by meansof their magical shaping cloaks. (These cloaks could also give others the power to take on the shape of Vampires.)
