If a vampire sires a child with a female humanoid or monstrous humanoid, a dhampir is the result of such pairing. Also known as a half-vampire, the dhampir takes on the base characteristics of the mother and gains a number of unique powers from its vampiric heritage. Although it has no energy drain ability, the dhampir lacks most of the vampire's vulnerabilities. A dhampir is not necessarily damned to a life of evil, but following its death it is doomed to rise as a vampire.[1][2]
Dhampir are known to be encountered in the following domains: Barovia[3], Richemulot[4]

"Arthur Sedgwick, at your service," I introduced myself.
"Tamarlane Gundar," he said, revealing long white teeth in what I belatedly realized was a friendly smile.
"Gundar!" I said, trying to cover my confusion with humor. "That is a name to conjure with, surely."
"I assure you, Master Sedgwick, it is mine by right," he said, frowning.
