The Melchahim are a clan of vampires in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. They are the descendants of the lieutenant Melchiah. The primary territory of the Melchahim is the Necropolis, and they are also encountered in and around the nearby ruins of Nupraptor's Retreat. As with all the clans seen in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, the Melchahim are split into two distinct active types: the older, stronger and more evolved adult Melchahim, and the younger, weaker and less evolved fledgling Melchahim. They are also encountered in their inactive pupating state.

| - The Melchahim were a clan of Nosgothic Vampires during the desolate era of Kain the Scion caused by the collapse of the Pillars of Nosgoth. They are the children and descendants of Lieutenant Melchiah, who received the lowest amount of Kain's gift, and therefore the entire clan are the weakest of all Nosgothic Vampires; even so they are still incredibly dangerous towards mortals, who will often fall victims to them, luckily for these creatures. The scuttling beasts use the Necropolis as their primary territory, although they have also infested the nearby ruins of Nupraptor's old retreat, similar to the stronger Zephonim who also did not expand their territory's borders. As the retreat is not naturally reachable be creatures that do not fly or swim, it is presumed that they instead had large burrows leading into this area. Melchiah's weakness has been passed on to the Melchahim, leaving them with inheriting an unusual physical frailty as well as consistently decaying flesh, their undead bodies barely capable of holding itself together. To overcome this, they must constantly hunt, and skin their victims in order to stitch the skin onto their own forms. They appear too weak to wear regular clothing, and will only wear loincloths and rags, which show their clan sign as is customary amongst their kind. Their frailty forces them to limp as if lame, and their fighting styles appear clumsy and choppy and nearly -like, but they show a tenacity at furiously fast burrowing. As their dark gift involves a natural affinity to the spectral realm, and their burrowing abilities may in fact have more to do with a primitive version of phase shifting over actual burrowing strength, though this has never been proven. When killing victims, they will first drink their blood through telekinesis and then chew off the flesh and skin of the dead in order to patch themselves up. Suspicions arose amongst the other clans that the Melchahim had been resurrecting long-dead corpses into vampires instead of creating them from still-living Humans, and this act was considered low even for the Vampiric Empire's standards. This is a coincidence as the clans have mostly been kept from knowing that the lieutenants themselves had also been raised this way.
