Vampire spawn
Vampire spawn are a race of Undead creatures which can be encountered in various locations in Baldur's Gate during Act Three. They are non-playable, excepting the Origin character Astarion.
About vampire spawn
Vampire spawns are created when a Vampire bites and drinks the blood of another creature. Once the spawn is born, they are subservient entirely to their creator. They may only regain their free-will through the death of their creator, or reciprocally drinking their masters blood to become a true vampire. Astarion is a notable exception to this rule, regaining his free will through being infected by a Tadpole.
Vampire spawns do not possess the powerful abilities of a true vampire, though they suffer from the usual afflictions. They are Physical and
Necrotic damage.
