The Ewigkind (plural Ewigkinder) is a type of vampire native to the domain of Madego. Only Chi-Folken can be infected with this particular strain of vampirism.

Rather than fear Ewigkinder, Chi-Folken detest Ewigkinder and are likely to react with anger when they discover Ewigkinder among them. Their loathing may be explained by the fact that Chi-Folken reproduce by, among other things, sharing blood. Ewigkinder reproduce by having two Ewigkinder variously draining a subject of its own blood and infusing it with their own. In addition, Ewigkinder constantly seek the blood of others, profaning what is to Chi-Folken a sacred process.

Unlike other vampires, Ewigkinder can transform into stirges, a mosquito swarm, or a volume of mud. When feeding on a victim, they do so by extruding a proboscis tongue and stinging the victim. Ewigkinder can swim and cross running water without difficulty, and may enter a home uninvited - but may then not attack anyone inside unless they are attacked first. In addition to an aversion to sunlight, garlic and wild roses, Ewigkinder have an allergic response to the colours yellow and green when combined. This means they are innately repulsed by the robes of the priesthood of Lupta, and themselves wear variant green-and-brown robes if they wish to enter the clergy.

Those who wish to permanently kill an Ewigkind must first stab a glass stake through its heart to immobilize it. Once the Ewigkind is thus disabled, its head must be severed from the neck, and molten glass must be poured into its body cavity.
