The term vampire, coming from Slavic languages, began to be used there in Europe by century XVIII, although the sucking humanoides myth of the blood demon would exist in medieval times.

It makes reference flying, sucking beings or drinkers of blood. Also one talks about certain animal, like the wolf or the bat.

One of the forms, perhaps most well-known, to end them, according to the tradition, was to nail a stake to him in the heart. In this occasion they chose to make sure that it did not return to bite more, if it did sometimes it, to anybody.
