Talamaur
The name given to a kind of living vampire found in the Banks Islands, near Australia. Either
male or female, the talamaur could communicate with ghosts, establishing a close relationship
with a deceased individual and making it a kind of dread familiar, or a servant that could be
sent to affect the living. Someone suspected of being a talamaur was seized and forced to endure
the smell of burning leaves until it confessed that it was the master of a spirit, surrendering
the name or names of those creatures being used and the living individual who was the intended
victim. Another kind of talamaur was an individual who could send out his or her soul to consume
the lingering life essence contrained in a new corpse. The approach of a talamaur could be
detected by a scratching at the door and a rustling sound near the corpse.

Taxim
A revolting type of revenant found in parts of Eastern Europe, also called the "walking dead,"
the reanimated body of a deceased who can find no eternal release until he or she has satisfied a 
desire for vengeance. What makes the taxim so terrible is the fact that, unlike vampires or most
other revenants, it is a decomposed creature, a rotted corpse driving on by its spirit. These few
remedies available in the face of the taxim, as it exists for only one purpose- to make others
pay for their sins again it while it lived- and it cannot be appeased with less. The pulp horror
magazines have made good use of this revenant.

Tlaciques
Vampire-wtiches found among the Nahuatl Indians of Mexico, similar to the West Indian loogaroo,
as they can turn into balls of flame. The tlaciques are also able to trannsform into turkeys in
order to suck the blood of humans without being discovered.
