Origin[]

Shamblers also called Star Vampires are creatures from outer space that are normally invisible. They are voracious blood suckers, becoming visible once their bodies are full of the victim's blood, a vivid red colour. Its form is like that of a jellyfish with neither a head or any visible facial features apart from its huge maw. Their bodies have multiple muscular tentacles, each strong enough to crush a man to death and on the tips are the suckers with which it drains the blood of its victims. From the Shamblers comes nonstop eerie horrifying laughter.
