We know the Claymores look like dhampirs and I made a thread about the Algonquian wendigo traditions being similar to the yoma. But who knows about these Japanese vampires?

But vampire cats and kappas don't count as Claymores though.

It's all I could find on Japanese vampires. It seems there is no Japanese mythological creature like a vampire that is like a claymore.

Youma are like vampires? I wouldn't agree with that. They don't suck blood or share any other obvious traits.

I know lol. But Claymores still resemble dhampirs in their abilities and hybrid nature, they're just not half vampire as such, and traditional dhampirs weren't depigmented either.

Not only that but their lives in general are similar:

Lol. I think sooner or later we'll point out all the possible things that influenced Claymore.
Well, probably never. It's been said on here before that myths and legends similar to each other can be found in almost every culture.Last edited by Clouded Leopard; 08-19-2011 at 03:20 AM.
