| - Basic Trope: A vampire with an aversion to drinking human blood, usually on moral grounds.
* Played Straight: Vlad does not bite humans. He instead prefers to drink animal blood.
* Exaggerated: Vlad does not drink any kind of blood at all.
* Inverted: Vlad drinks only human blood, direct from the source.
* Vlad isn't a vampire, he drinks human blood For the Evulz
* Justified: Vlad believes that drinking blood from humans is wrong.
* Vlad is an "energy vampire"; he survives on spiritual energy, not blood.
* Vlad was hemophobic in life, and that trait stayed with him when he became a vampire.
* Vlad doesn't like the metallic taste of blood. (He may be a relatively "new" vampire and not used to it.)
* Vlad is concerned for some reason about the possibility of contracting blood-borne illness (such as AIDS or Hepatitis) or parasites (such as malaria or flukes) from biting humans. (Why that should be a concern to an undead creature depends on the setting.)
* Vlad is supposed to subsist on something other than blood (such as coffee) to get the energy he needs.
* Vlad is a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire
* Subverted: Vlad will drink blood from humans
* Double Subverted: But only from medical bags from the local blood bank, not directly from a human.
* Or only if the human in question offers it to him voluntarily and consensually.
* Deconstructed:
* Reconstructed:
* Parodied: Vlad drinks "soy-based blood substitute"
* Vlad drinks only tomato or cranberry juice, or any other red liquid that maybe looks like blood but isn't.
* Since seduction is usually a key element of vampires, Vlad seduces the cow he bites into...and is seen with it later.
* Lampshaded: "Oh, no. Biting humans is wrong. I only bite cows."
* "What? It's just cranberry juice!"
* Averted: Vlad is not a vampire.
* Vlad is a vampire, but primarily (or exclusively) drinks human blood.
* Enforced: Our Vampires Are Different, Friendly Neighborhood Vampire, Dark Is Not Evil
* Invoked: Vlad is "turned", but does not feel comfortable biting humans, especially without their consent.
* Defied: Vlad's Blood Lust is overwhelming, and he bites the first human he sees.
* Discussed:
* Conversed:
* Played For Laughs: Vlad joins a group of vampires called "VETH" (Vampires for the Ethical Treatment of Humans).
* Played For Drama: Vlad craves human blood; will his own willpower be enough to keep him off it?
