Whampire is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a functionally extinct species known as Vladat from Anur Vladias and Anur Transyl in the Anur System.
The DNA sample was acquired in extraordinary circumstances when Zs'Skayr brought the Vladat DNA source Lord Transyl back to life by using the immense magical power he stole from the Alpha Rune.
Appearance
Whampire is a vampire-like alien with blueish-white skin and sharp yellow teeth. He wears a black and green jumpsuit with the chest plate looking somewhat similar to that of Big Chill's. Whampire wears black gloves with green fingers and sharp claws, has green markings on his suit, and wears a green mask with spikes on it. Whampire’s head is rather large and has green eyes. Whampire also has green flaps under his hands, resembling Jetray and a bat.
Whampire wears the Omnitrix symbol on his stomach.
His Corrupturas are small, dark green, diamond-shaped objects with light green eyes, little horns, and black bat-like wings.
Powers and Abilities
Just like Lord Transyl, Whampire possesses hypnosis from his eyes and can also control other beings by shooting Corrupturas at their foreheads.
He can also suck and feed off the energy of living beings.
Whampire also has the ability to fly, just like Lord Transyl.
He is immune to Lord Transyl's hypnosis, due to being a member of the same species.
When Whampire is completely surrounded, he is able to create a huge sonic explosion that will blow all his opponents away.
Whampire can hang upside down like bats and real vampires. According to him, he does his best thinking while he is upside down
He can see the internal structure, (example: nerves), and energy of his victims using his infra-red vision.
He shows having a certain level of enhanced strength, being able to hold his own against a mob of Ectonurites, Loboans, Thep Khufans, and Transylians before eventually being overrun.
Weaknesses
When the Omnitrix times out, Whampire’s Corrupturas break apart, setting its victims free.
Whampire cannot mind control other members of his species.
Whampire also must resist the urge to drain the energy of other lifeforms especially sentients, making him dangerous to others.
The Corruptura can't attach to beings with wet or slippery skin, as seen with Hobble. The Corruptura can't attach to beings while they are intangible. They can attach to said species if they are caught off guard and tangible when the Corruptura is shot at them.
He can't absorb the life energy of Ectonurites, as they have none.
Whampire, like all Vladats, can be harmed due to sunlight.
