Protector, a sterile cross between a Shtriga and a Human. Lifespan is currently unknown, although their traditional term of service begins on their 35th year and ends with their death on their 100th year of life.
Servants of Moarteas Eterna and also known as true-bloods. They were never human. They have the ability to reproduce. Although they are not immortal, they are long-lived.

Created by the Shtriga using venom glands connected to a set of spurs located directly behind the extending canines. A Shtriga can choose when and who to make Vatalas by the depth of the bite and whether the victim remains alive after. If rendered dead, the transformation can not occur. Vatalas means impure. Their creation, their entire species was brought about to be a helper race for the Shtriga.
