Energy Vampire
Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting
If you have ever encountered someone so dull that every word they say feels like nails on a chalkboard, you might have run into an energy vampire. Energy vampires are not too dissimilar from regular vampires, but differ in that they drain energy instead of blood, doing so by boring people to death or causing irritation on purpose. Unlike their bloodthirsty cousins, energy vampires can walk in daylight without issue and look like an average person, though they aren’t nearly as viscous as their counterparts.
