Nosferatu: A Romanian word meaning Undead.

Nosferatu exemplify the disease aspect of the vampire legend, the carrier and slave. Carriers live longer, moving from area to area, spreading the disease to slaves. The disease is passed by a carrier, draining the blood from a victim. After a short period of time, the corpse will revive with a massive desire for blood. Each victim of a slave in turn becomes a slave on death. This kind of epidemic can spread very rapidly as carriers are created at random. One slave in a hundred will become a carrier if it lives long enough.

Carriers generally live a long time and gradually become less human. They become of the ratty, pale and clawed variety, often betraying the effects of disease. Slaves often don't live long enough to develop the same signs of their nature, but will end up that way if they do survive. Carriers remain about as intelligent as they were in life whereas slaves have notably less intellect. Those destined to become carriers slowly regain their minds over the course of a few days.

Nosferatu can be killed by fire. Sunlight irritates their eyes, and slaves find that they burn in strong light, so they only move at night. Carriers are not too good at blending in with society, so it is easier at night. Lasers or plasma weapons work just as well as fire, though the flamethrower is often the chosen weapon for facing these beasts.
