Sorry, I couldn't help but to get a little sarcastic because fictional creatures are of course, creatures of fiction, however they all have some sort of "origin" story. That is what I meant about keeping true to their nature.

I understand what you mean that the storyteller of each generation will manipulate their respective version of the same story to make it appealing to their audience, but recently the nature of the "Vampire" has been disgraced as of late. My humble opinion, of course.

BTW, Vlad Tepes Dracul was not a creature of fiction... and his origin story and the fantasy stories written about his origin are pretty facinating and cool as well.

So like I was saying to Hollywood before,
I do not know anything about this Vlad fellow, but presume this is what the Dracula movies are based off of, I suppose I will have to read about this.

But sincere question here, no sarcasm, you say in your opinion the fictional portrayal has been a disgrace as of late. Because I am curious, what portrayal do you typically feel is more accurate or does the fictional creature more justice?
