Doctor Who

The Vampire character from Doctor Who appears in the Series #2 episode "School Reunion." It is not a traditional vampire, but rather a Krillitane, a creature from another planet that absorbs the best traits from the species it conquers.

In "School Reunion," the Krillitanes, led by Brother Lassar, infiltrate Deffry Vale High School, disguising themselves as teachers. They use "Bat Soup," a special oil additive, to enhance human intelligence, intending to unlock the secrets of the Skasis Paradigm. The Skasis Paradigm, if solved, would allow them to manipulate the fundamental forces of the universe.

The Krillitanes' bat-like appearance and ability to transform into monstrous, bat-like forms give them a vampiric aesthetic. They drain the life force of their victims through a touch, further reinforcing this impression. They are ultimately defeated by the Doctor and his companions, Rose Tyler and Sarah Jane Smith.
