Van-Tal

The nature of the Pylea dimension caused a notable shift in a vampire's physiology. This dimension caused the demonic and human aspects of the vampire to separate. When the vampire was wearing its human face, the vampire appeared to be much more human than they would on Earth. They casted a reflection and their bloodlust was muted. The vampire was also unaffected by the Pylean sun. However when they "vamped out", they became a demonic beast known to Pylean's as the "Van-Tal."

The demon that possessed and animated a vampire's body was not the main factor that outlined the vampire's personality. The demon, which Pyleans called "Van-Tal" (Drinker of Blood), was little more than a vicious, hematophagous creature that only added the bloodlust and killer instinct to the vampire's personality. It was also stronger than a regular vampire from Earth (a regular vampire being a combination of the wild, feral Van-Tal's soul and the human body and mind that the vampire had possessed in life). The strength of a Van-Tal was comparable to that of its Turok-Han cousins.

The Van-Tal had green skin and rows of spines on its forehead and skin as well as clawed hands and red eyes. It was incapable of speaking and walking upright. The Van-Tal was also immune to sunlight; although it was unknown if this was unique to Pylea's sun.

Upon seeing such a creature for the first time, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce theorized that such a demon could have been the one that created the first vampire (though was revealed to be incorrect).
