Danag
A filipino vampire held to be very ancient as a species, repsonsible for having planted taro in 
the island long ago. The danag worked with humans for many years, but the partnership ended one 
day when a human cut her finger and a danag sucked her wound, enjoying the taste so much that it 
drained her completely.

Dearg-due
Also dearg-dul, a dreaded creature of Ireland, whose name means "Red Blood Sucker." An ancient 
vampire dating perhaps to pre-Celtic or early-Celtic days, it is greatly feared. The only way to 
curb its predations is to pile stones upon any grave suspected of housing such as beast. The most
famous tale of the dearg-due is the story of a beautiful woman supposedly buried in Waterford, in
a small churchyard near Strongbow's Tree. Several times a year she rised from the earth, using 
her stunning appearance to lure men to their doom.

Dhampir
The name given by Slavonic Gypsies to the child of a vampire; a person possessing certain unique 
powers in combating his undead sires and relatives. The title and characteristics change from 
region to region. Traditionally, the male Gypsy vampire had an insatiable need to have 
sex with his widow, doing this before anything else. It was possible that his spouse could become
pregnant, giving birth. The offspring was often called a dhampir but was also known to other 
Gypsy groups as vampir (male), vampuiera (female), vampijerovic, or lampijerovic. Some believed 
that the child was also a male; others claimed that it was short-lived because of a jellylike 
body, or that it could not come from the family of an Orthodox or Muslim clertic, or that it was 
a normal humans.
Dhampirs were very effective in destecting and destroying their vampiric families. They were 
found in Serbia and elsewhere in parts of Yugoslavia, many making comfortable living as vampire 
hunters. Oly they could see the bloodsuckers (Serbian undead being invisible), and they 
performed bizzare rituals, whistling, running about, undressing, and using shirtsleeves as a kind
of telescope. Wrestling furious with an invisible foe, the dhampir finally declared dramatically 
that the feared vampire was dead. A large fee was then collected. The last known dhampir 
cemermony was held in 1959 in the Yugoslavian province of Kosovo.

Martin Dummolard
A late-nineteenth-century mass murder in France, known as the "monster of Montluel" whose crimes 
were made more macabre because of the control exercised over him by his obese mistress, one 
Justine Lafayette. After meeting Justine while in her Lyon boarding house, the youthful, handsom 
Dummolard fell completely under her spell. They were both necrophiles, Dummolard drinking the 
blood of his victims and brining home the fleshiest portion of his skills to serve up for 
Justine. Despite the terror that broke out in Montuel, he was able to murder some eigthy girls. 
The capture of Doomlard and his mistress in 1888 was followed by a sensational trial. Justine was
guillontined, and Dummolard was confined to an asylum. He died in this century and is ranked as 
one of the most hideous of the so-called vampire of history.
