Revision as of 16:50, 10 September 2013
- Buffy: “Everyone who's turned since the Seed was destroyed is a zombie vampire.”
- Xander: “Zompires! I've named them. My work is done here.”
- — Buffy Summers and Xander Harris[src]
"Zompire", a pormanteau of the words Zombie and Vampire, was the term Xander Harris invented to refer to all new vampires sired after the destruction of the Seed of Wonder.
Features
While the destruction of the Seed still allowed demon spirits to reanimate the vampires' bodies, they were unable to actually cross over into the Earth dimension to inhabit them. As a result, the zompires all rose as feral, mindless creatures with no trace of their human predecessor's memories and/or personalities. They were described as pack animals, preferring to fight in groups opposed to singular hunting.
History
After the destruction of the Seed of Wonder by the Slayer Buffy Summers, and the subsequent disappearance of magic from the world, even the vampire race is altered by the event: while the vampires already made these before the end of the magic retain their powers, the their limitations and their status as undead, they will never be created new ones since there are no longer lit the earth to the demon world and therefore vampired can no longer be possessed by an inner demon becoming vampires. The process of vampirism will therefore, from this point onwards, the creation of zombies devoid of consciousness with features similar to those of a vampire.
As the zompires were too mindless to adhere to the rules that Harmony Kendall had set that had allowed vampires to be embraced by the public, the San Francisco Police Department eventually initiated an anti-zompire task force to counter them.
