Vampires are supernatural beings who feed on the blood of the living. Vampires are not considered a "race" in the same sense as gargoyles, humans or Oberon's Children, rather they are former humans cursed (or blessed) with a supernatural affliction. One of the most well known vampires of all is Dracula.
According to Princess Katharine vampires are vulnerable to silver just as the Third Race are vulnerable to iron. Whether this has any basis in fact or is simply medieval superstition remains to be seen.
Greg Weisman has confirmed the existence of vampires in the Gargoyles Universe, though as yet none have appeared in the canon.
