Hmm....
Well, vampires are supposedly dead creatures or spirits that drink
blood... Parasites are live creatures that drink blood... (or life and
money in William's case :) )
Perhaps we need to define the concept between vampire and parasite a
little more...
Say, the following could be used for vampire...
lom'e' 'Iw tlhutlhwI' (Corpse who drinks blood... perfect!)
As to parasite... well, that's still beyond my scope, but I have the
feeling we can deal with something on the lines of a thing that sucks
life/blood,etc.
