A dhampir ("dam-PEER") is a humanoid creature, not necessarily undead, cursed with vampirism to a lesser degree than true vampires. They are not to be confused with vampire spawn, which are the thralls of vampires.
Origins
Dhampirs were introduced for 5th-edition D&D in the Unearthed Arcana article //[*https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/unearthed-arcana/gothic-lineages Gothic Lineages]//, which suggests the following options for your origin as a dhampir.
- You are the reincarnation of an ancestor who was a vampiric tyrant.
- Your pact with a predatory deity, fiend, fey, or spirit causes you to share their hunger.
- You survived being attacked by a vampire but were forever changed.
- A parasite inhabits your body. You indulge your hunger to sate it.
- You loved an immortal and were willing to be transformed into a vampire to join them, but tragedy interrupted the transformation.
- You are a diminished manifestation of an otherworldly being. Slaking your hunger hastens your renewal.
- You don’t know your origins, but you were raised by vampires or other monsters.
- A radical experiment changed your body, making you reliant on others for vital fluids.
