Vampire

Vampires are undead creatures in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that serve as antagonists in the first three parts.

Origin
Vampires were created by the Pillar Men with acupuncture techniques that they developed through the use of the Stone Mask. The purpose of the vampires were to become food for the Pillar Men and for the exploration of human potential. This would then lead the Pillar Men to discover the Red Stone of Asia which can be combined with the Stone Mask to make them perfect, granting them immunity to sunlight and allowing them to rewrite their DNA.

Vampires can be created in two ways. One way is to wear the Stone Mask while exposing it to blood. The other way is for a vampire to give a corpse some of his own blood.

Powers and Abilities
Vampires have numerous superhuman traits. The most obvious abilities are their raw strength, regeneration, and near-immortality. On top of that, many vampires are capable of manipulating their bodies in creative and unique ways. Some as skilled as Dio can create their own unique abilities.
