Meaning a combination of a vampire and a human, dhampirs are human-like half-vampire creatures or supernatural vampiric half-human beings in Balkan folklore who have similarities of powers to those of vampires but without the usual weaknesses, such as the thirst for blood. The word dhampir derives from words 'demi' (half) and 'vampir' (Serbian for vampire). In common origin with Balkans, it is believed that male vampires have a great desire for women, so a vampire will return to have intercourse with his wife or a woman he was attracted to in life. Indeed fact, in one recorded case, a Serbian widow tried to blame her pregnancy on her late husband, who had supposedly become a vampire, and there were cases of Serbian men pretending to be vampires in order to reach the women they desired.

Indeed fact, in one recorded case, a Serbian widow tried to blame her pregnancy on her late husband, who had supposedly become a vampire, and there were cases of Serbian men pretending to be vampires in order to reach the women they desired. This is, however, of course fictional, but in Bulgarian folklore, vampires were said to deflower virgins, also, much to no shock. The sexual activity of the vampire seems to be a peculiarity of South Slavic vampire belief as opposed to other Slavs, although a similar motif also occurs in Belarusian legends. Some traditions specify signs by which the children of a vampire can be recognized. Albanian legends state they have untamed dark or black hair and lack a shadow.[8] In Bulgarian folklore, possible indications include being "very dirty," having a soft body, no nails and bones (the latter physical peculiarity is also ascribed to the vampire itself), and "a deep mark on the back, like a tail." In contrast, a pronounced nose was often a sign, as were larger than normal ears, teeth or eyes. According to J. Gordon Melton, from his book, The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead, in some areas, a true dhampir possessed a "slippery, jelly-like body and lived only a short life—a belief that vampires have no bones." This is true, but unsubtle. Mostly dhampirs are not able to be created due to the fact that most humans and most vampires don't crossbreed or make hybrids. Because most vampires don't cross-breed in the Monster High world, dhampirs are very rare. None existed in the franchise so far however.
