Invisible blood-drainer whose laughter echoes after feeding.

Period attestation: lovecraft-1930s.

What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.

Description

Named in 'The Shambler from the Stars'; leaves gelatinous residue.

Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.

Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.

Historical Record

Often summoned accidentally from the Necronomicon.

Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.

Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.

Field Observations

Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.

Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.

Archive Notes

Cite archive slug `star-vampire` in all cross-references. Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
