Vampires[]
The vampire remains the same, but it takes a more human form, killing people who come near it. Unlike the typical vampire, it’s more animalistic, walking like monkeys, covered in brown fur, exposed pale gray skin, and fangs like those of a vampire bat. It lives on the basement of the Redding house. Initially, they make noises on the ceiling while they move but it was initially thought to be a raccoon infestation. During the night while Eddie is sleeping, one of the vampires crept out of the closet and snatched Rugles. However, it ended up waking up Eddie who screamed in terror. The vampire managed to escape just before the arrival of Dennis and Sarah. The next day, exterminator Stan Polanski was hired to get rid of the "racoon infestation". Polanski spots a hole in the basement and investigated. Using a snake cam, he spotted a couple of nest made up of debris. He also see a strange humanoid embedded in one of the nest. Then, the creature jumps out and kills Polanski. Eventually, the Redding Family noticed that Polanski has been gone for a long time and sends Eddie to go to the basement. While in the basement, Eddie is spotted by one of the vampires after tragically finding Stan’s body and tries to escape. Eddie and Sarah tries to hold off the door, but the vampire manages to break the door of the hinges. The Redding family then hides in Eddie's bedroom while being pursued by at least 3 vampires. One of them managed to break a hole on the door. As a last ditch effort, Dennis stabbed the beast with a piece of the wooden door and the beast suddenly vaporizes and the others run away. Days later, a mining community 60 miles away was attacked by creatures that are similar to the vampires.
Chupacabra[]
When the coyote drops off the Ramirez family in the Sonora desert when smuggling them to the border of the US, the daughter of the family named Eva drops her camera. When her father Carlos sends her to retrieve the camera, Eva hears a growling and rustling in the bushes, meaning a chupacabra is stalking them. A few hours later, in the US border area, the family hears more rustling and growling in the bushes. The chupacabra then strikes, killing Carlos and his wife off camera. However, a patrol aerial drone catches the chase and even records a glimpse of the predator in pursuit, prompting an investigation. Later during the evening, a border patrol officer named Martin Santino comes across several bodies of small animals killed by the creature. He then hears a growl in the bushes and runs back to inform his partner, Tom Valentine. Both officers head to the area and hear more growling in a bush. As they close in, the chupacabra attacks (probably because it is trying to defend itself) and Valentine shoots a few rounds at it before he and his partner rush out of the area. The creature is again caught on camera. It is unknown if the creature is killed or not. But this animal is REAL!
Strigoi[]
Clinton Weber was a strigoi, (therefore he was already dead or reassigned to another job) but he had changed his appearance so that nobody else would notice him. The deaths of the workers and doctors were officially attributed to a gas leak, and the company ceased operations in North America. Animal hairs and saliva samples were confiscated by the FBI, and no lab results were released to the public.
