Crypt Horror (Vampire Counts Unit)

"Crypt Horrors are only seen openly in times of war, where they are primarily used as the shock troops of ambitious Strigoi Ghoul Kings.

Crypt Ghouls are counted amongst the lowliest of all Vampiric servants; after all, they lack even the common decency to be properly dead. So the sight of a pack of Crypt Horrors accompanying a Vampire to battle is evidence of the terrible depths that their master has sunk to in his quest for survival.

In order to create a Crypt Horror, a Vampire must be truly desperate to open his veins to a Ghoul and allow it to sink its teeth and gulp down his precious blood - essentially a pale bastardisation of the Dark Kiss - an act that is reviled by those who count themselves amongst the elite of Sylvanian society. After a ghoul consumes their master's blood, they will go into a rampage, crazed by vampire blood. The vampire blood also induces uncontrolled physical enhancement and growth, to the point their bones protrude out from their flesh

In battle, packs of Crypt Horrors muscle their way towards the front lines, eyes glowing with dire light. They use hattered gravestones, tomb statues and cemetery railings, even animals' or their own members' bones to smash aside those brave enough to stand before them. It is their meat-encrusted fangs and talons, however, that are to be avoided at all costs. Even a shallow wound from a Crypt Horror bears enough poisonous rot to kill a horse.

Despised by the living and the dead alike, Crypt Horrors are creatures to be truly feared"
