==Abilities==
Vampires are known for their battle cry {{Nihongo4Nihongo|"WRY"|ウリイ|Uri}} and numerous superhuman traits. Their most obvious abilities are their raw strength, regeneration, blood-sucking tentacles at their fingers and near-immortality. On top of that, many vampires are capable of manipulating their bodies in creative and unique ways. Some as skilled as [[Dio Brando|Dio]] have created their own unique abilities.
===Zombie Creation===
{{Main|Zombie}}
A secondary undead, created by a vampire who dons the Stone Mask, is commonly referred to as a {{Nihongo4|'''Zombie'''|{{Ruby|屍生人|ゾンビ}}|Zonbi|lit. "Undead Person"}}; {{Nihongo4|"Undead"|{{Ruby|亡者|アンデッド}}|Andeddo|lit. "the deceased"}} is also sometimes used.
===Basic Powers===
|Debut =
|AImage = vampire strength.gif
|Desc = Vampires are exceptionally strong beings. One weakened vampire couldcan destroy a brick wall with one punch; DioDIO himself couldcan lift a road roller and jump high in the air with it. A measurement of [[Straizo]]'s strength setsets his finger pressure as 325 kg/cm<sup>2.</sup>.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB
|Debut =
|AImage = dio jump.gif
|Desc = Vampires are very agile, their speed having beenbeing likened to that of a cheetah by [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]]. They are able to jump several meters up ininto the air: for example, a weakened Straizo couldis able to jump up to {{Cvt|4.22 meters|m|ft}} in the air. Other demonstrations of agility include casually hanging from a ceiling and leaping great distances.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB
|Debut =
|AImage = Vampires_sux.gif
|Desc = Vampires consume the blood of living creatures to sustain themselves. Unlike traditional vampires, they suck their victim's blood with their hands, digging the fingers directly inside the target to suck their blood. Blood consumption will strengthenstrengthens a vampire, and healheals him if he washas previously weakenedsustained beforedamage. In a weakened state, a vampire will instinctively crave blood and may attack any victim to regenerate.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB|Part2=BT|Part3=SDC
|Debut =
|AImage =
|Desc = Vampires can fully manipulate their own bodies, making a seemingly limitless number of special techniques possible. [[Wired Beck]], for example, hadhas the ability to form numerous spikes all over his body from his body hair; [[Nukesaku]] displayeddisplays the ability to form a second face on the back of his head with female features to deceive his opponents.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB|Part2=SDC
|Debut =
|AImage = dio regen.gif
|Desc = A vampire's body is able to live even after having vital body parts amputated, as it is able to regenerate or reattach its own body parts. Vampires can also control their detached body parts. For example, Dio is able to reattach himself after being sliced in half by [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]], and [[Straizo]] regenerates after exploding into several pieces from grenades. However, this ability is significantly hindered should the vampire's brain be destroyed or heavily damaged, leaving an opening themfor upthem to be killed through other means.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 23}}</ref><ref>{{Ch|Chapter 259}}</ref><ref>{{Ch|Chapter 264}}</ref>
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB|Part2=SDC
|Debut =
|AImage =
|Desc = As part of their immortality, a vampire's body will forfeitforfeits natural decay, essentially preventing the host from dying of old age. Those transformed at a younger age will naturally preserve their looks, while those who are older will rejuvenate their bodies, taking on the appearance of someone in their 20s.<ref>[[JoJo6251JoJo 6251]], p.105</ref> This characteristic allows DIO to retain his youth and survive at the bottom of the ocean for a century.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB|Part2=SDC
|Name = Enhanced Senses
|JPN =
|Romaji =
|User = [[Dio BrandoDIO]]
|Debut =
|AImage = Dio listen.gif
|Desc = As demonstrated by DioDIO when placinghe places his ear to the ground to listen for [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]'s heartbeat or for passing vehicles, vampires appear to have greatly heightened senses.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 260}}</ref>
}}
|Debut =
|AImage =
|Desc = Vampires are capable of creating [[zombie]]s from either living beings or deceased corpses by injecting them with a vampiric extract. Though zombies are also strong creatures, they are less powerful than their vampiric creator and will often obey them without question. In Stardust Crusaders, DioDIO perfected this technique, injecting others with his blood to sire other vampires.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB
|Debut =
|AImage = Chimera Zombies Anime.gif
|Desc = Vampires are able to graft parts of different organisms together. Dio displays this ability by creating [[MinorUnnamed Characters#Chimera Zombies|animal-human hybrid zombies]] as pets, ultimately using it to graft his disembodied head on Jonathan's body.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 24}}
|AImage = DioHypnotism.gif
|Desc = Dio is able to hypnotize individuals into doing his bidding. Notvia muchunknown ismeans. known about this ability, besides that itIt may possibly be nullified by the Ripple energy, as [[Poco]]'s hypnosis worewears off afterwhen beinghe is hit by [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]'s Overdrive.
}}
{{Tech|Part=PB|Part2=BT
|Debut =
|AImage = Vampire eyes.gif
|Desc = Vampires are able to expel pressurized body fluid from their eyes. Though the resulting jets of fluid are strong enough to cut cleanly through a stone column, theyRipple energy can be redirectedused byto redirect them with curved surfaces such as wine glasses if infused with the Ripple.
}}
{{Tech|Part=SDC
|JPN = 肉の芽
|Romaji = Niku no Me
|User = [[Dio Brando|DIO]]
|Debut = {{Ch|Chapter 120}}
|AImage = Flesh Bud.png
|Desc = A vampire can create flesh buds from their own cells and insert them into the brains of living beings, subtly making them more susceptible to the vampire's influence. Over the course of several years, the flesh bud gradually devours its host's brain; if the vampire who created the flesh bud dies, the flesh bud will fusefuses with the host on a cellular level, mutating them beyond recognition.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 282}}</ref> If someone tries to remove the flesh bud, it will growgrows tentacles in an attempt to kill both the host and the one trying to remove it. Once created by a vampire, the flesh bud can be inserted and triggered by anyone able to manipulate life at a cellular level. When not attached to its host, similarly to a vampire, flesh buds are weak to sunlight<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 161}}</ref> and the Ripple.<ref>{{Ch|Chapter 120}}</ref>
{{Non-Canon|oh}}
In the light novel [[JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE OVER HEAVEN|OVER HEAVEN]], it is stated that flesh buds reduce the host's Stand power.<ref>[[JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE OVER HEAVEN#Chapters 1-20|OVER HEAVEN Chapter 10]]</ref>
|Debut =
|AImage =
|Desc = The vampire [[Straizo]], having previously learned the art of the Ripple as a human, wasis able to use the breathing technique after turning into a vampire. Doing so, however, wasis an act of suicide, as the Ripple destroyeddestroys his own body.
}}
{{Tech|Part=SDC
|JPN = スタンド
|Romaji = Sutando
|User = [[Dio Brando|DIO]], [[Vanilla Ice]]
|Debut =
|AImage =
|Desc = Like humans, vampires with unusually strong spiritual power can develop and control Stands, a physical manifestation of the user's spirit. As wasindicated the case withby [[The World]]'s timestop gradually lengthening as DIO's neck wound healedheals, the limitations of a vampire's Stand can be lessened or nullified over time.

==Differences from Popular Culture Vampires==
[[File:Chapter 130.jpg|thumb|right|200px|DIO seen with a reflection of himself]]
*Apart from sunlight, ''JoJo'' vampires are unaffected by traditional weaknesses such as crosses.
*Vampires are commonly converted when they are bitten by another vampire. In ''JoJo'', vampires are created through the use of a Stone Mask or receiving blood from another vampire. A vampire simply sucking blood from a victim results in the birth of a zombie.
*Another myth of popular culture is that vampires can turn into bats, wolves or other animals, and are capable of squeezing through small crevices. In ''JoJo'', though vampires can manipulate their own bodies in various inhuman ways, they show no indication of being able to use their bodies in either of the above manners. However, [[Kars]], a Pillar Man and the creator of the Stone Masks, has been shown to be capable of such transformation after becoming the Ultimate Thing. [[Santana]] has also been shown to be able to break down his own body in order to pass through small gaps in a ventilation shaft.
*Normal vampires suck blood through biting the neck of their victims. ''JoJo'''s vampires are mostly seen sucking blood through blood vessels in their fingers. However, like traditional vampires, JJBA vampires are shown to bear fangs, and the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation|anime]] implies that Dio can suck blood with his fangs.
*In some myths, vampirism is genetic. In those myths, cases of male vampires conceiving a child with human women result in the child being a Dhampir (a half-vampire). Dio Brando's [[Brando Family|sons]] show no indication of having inherited his vampirism, although [[Giorno]] sometimes uses the characteristic "WRYYY" battle cry of a vampire. It should be noted, however, that the circumstances behind their births were not straightforward, as Dio had not yet fully synchronized himself with Jonathan's human body.
*It is believed that a reflection in the mirror reflects a person's soul, so vampires are commonly missing reflections as they lack souls. However, DIO has a reflection in the cover of [[Chapter 130]].
