5 Interesting Facts About The Vampire Species
The CW

There are several kinds of vampires. Although they all share the similar fundamental strengths and weaknesses. While all the Vampires have spawned from the Originals. They are the first of their kind, these vampires came into the existence through a magical spell. When the Originals discovered that they can turn normal humans into their kind by feeding them their blood and then with their death, they would reawake as vampires in transition. The Originals started a plague, turning an immense number of humans into vampires. Then there are the Enhanced Original and the Upgraded Original Vampire kind.

The only enhanced Original vampire is Alaric Saltzman who was turned into a vampire by Esther using the modified Immortality Spell. In terms of power, an Original and Enhanced Original are almost equal. The most strongest vampire in the TVD Universe is the Upgraded Original Vampire, Lucifer reverse engineered the infamous immortality spell and used the venom of seven werewolf bloodlines along with the blood of Freya to turn himself into an Upgraded Original. Then finally we have the Augustine Vampire, an artificially created kind of vampires who have been turned using the Ripper Virus which makes them unstable and unable to control their hunger for blood, they even consume other vampires.

2. BLOOD

Sharing the blood is an extremely intimate act and it should be taken very seriously. And when it comes to the romantic partners, sharing the blood is a display of love and it also denotes the trust shared by the two. In Season 4, Damon feds his blood to Elena and asks her to keep it a secret from Stefan. This eventually creates a tension between the three. Stefan expresses his disappointment with Elena. Many believe this was the beginning of the end for Stelena. Plec revealed in an interview that blood sharing is extremely personal, it’s similar to exchange of the fluids LOL. Interestingly, Klaus and Elijah have been famously known for feeding their Original blood to their friends and fellow siblings in order to heal them and save their lives.
