Hey here’s my premise for a Vampire: the Masquerade campaign:
Two vampire clans, both alike in indignity:
-the Bats, who process large quantities of blood very rapidly and consequently piss like racehorses to rid themselves of excess fluid
-the Ticks, who retain all of the blood they drink and simply expand like water balloons to contain all of it
CHOSE YOUR SQUID!!!!
glumshoe:
So you think maybe they’re just constantly pissing themselves when they’re hunting, like vampire bats?
alleenickel:
I’d imagine a liquid diet would be very quick and easy to process, so it’s likely that the blood doesn’t spend much time in their stomachs at all before moving on to the small intestine. Perhaps they can process blood so quickly it drains out of their stomachs before they’re finished feeding.
glumshoe:
Where does the blood go when a vampire feeds? If the stomach can hold a volume of around one quart of liquid, and the average adult human has around four to eight quarts of blood, how does a vampire drain a victim without rupturing something internally? Is the blood going to waste? Are they feeding only on small people? Or are they hollow inside and the blood fills up parts of their bodies other than their stomachs?
