Vampir
CharacterVampir is the very first Cardian unleashed by the alien duo Ail and An in the second Sailor Moon anime series. Named after the vampire, she serves the Makai Tree by feeding on human energy and stands as the debut threat of the season.
Appearance
Her body carries a pink hue, crowned by gray hair and dressed in green. In place of one hand she bears a red flower. In the original Japanese she can only echo her own name or clipped pieces of it, though the DiC English dub granted her the ability to speak.
Personality
She exists to siphon vitality for the Makai Tree, latching onto her victims to pull their energy away. Strong enough to overpower the guardian cats when they try to face her without help, she presses her attack without hesitation.
History
Rather than reviving the Sailor Guardians, Luna and Artemis try to bring her down on their own, but she proves too much for them while draining the energy of Naru. Left with no choice, Luna restores Usagi's memories of being Sailor Moon once she arrives. Vampir nearly saps Sailor Moon as well, until Luna bites down on the monster's arm, opening the window for Sailor Moon to finish her with Moon Tiara Action. She holds the odd distinction of being the only Cardian ever destroyed by that particular technique.
