Crypt Ghoul

Not truly undead, the Crypt Ghouls are the descendants of cannibals. Driven into graveyards and crypts where they fed on the flesh of the dead, the Crypt Ghouls became horrific and disgusting creatures with diseased claws. They feel the allure of Dark Magic and are easily swayed by it, making them easy minions for Vampires.

Cairn Wraith

Cairn Wraiths were human, once. Humans who wielded magic in the age before the Colleges. Without guidance and training, these humans inevitably became steeped in Dark Magic, which rotted their souls and their bodies, turning them into wraiths. They were drawn to places of sorrow and suffering, where Vampires bind them to their will.

Crypt Horror

These malformed horrors are a sign of a desperate vampire. To create a Crypt Horror, a vampire must allow a Crypt Ghoul to feed on the vampire's own blood- an act of disgrace and revulsion to 'noble' vampires. Thus it is usally only done by the Strigoi. A Crypt Horror towers over normal ghouls and acts like a living battering ram, able to smash its way through almost any defense.

Tomb Banshee

Bitter, evil spirits who lived bitter, evil lives, the Tomb Banshee is known and feared for its terrible cry, capable of snuffing out a life. Their ethereal form makes them difficult to slay and thus a great asset to the lords of undeath.

Vargheist

Some unfortunate vampires who lose out in the incessant power struggles amidst the Midnight Aristocracy are imprisoned underground within sealed coffins. There, little drops of warpstone-tainted water seep into their coffins. Between the water and the unquenched thirst for blood, the vampire mutates and becomes a purest expression of the darkness within the vampire's soul. They become huge, towering, winged creatures, rendered insensate in mind except for the maddening desire to feed. In this way, they are easily controlled by a competent Vampire.

Blood Knight

Blood Dragons seek to test their combat skills against dedicated warriors. For obvious reasons, many of these warriors end up being human knights, either those of the Knightly Orders or the landowning Knights of Bretonnia. No such knight stands a chance, but those who fight valiantly and with skill are sometimes given the Blood Kiss by those who laid them low. Thus the curse of blood turns these Knights, already great warriors, into legendary ones. Blood Knights are these knights- lesser Blood Dragons who have a valid claim to being the greatest knights of the Old World.
