		The Strigoi were defeated, and retreated in desperation towards the city gates.

		Strigoi are very rare (not as rare as Necrarchs but less known than other Vampires) and can only be found in the southern provinces of the Empire, in Tilea and the Border Princes.
		Physique: Most Strigoi are bald and leathery, their vermin-infested flesh cracked and oozing with putrescence (they have the Unpleasant Odour disability at stage 3 WFRP p139.) They have long, spidery fingers that can stroke the hair of a sleeping child with tenderness one moment, and crush the spine of a horse the next.
		The Strigoi first exhumes the corpse and must drain it of all blood no matter how cold or putrid it is. This is usually achieved by clawing open the corpse's chest and saturating the heart with a stream of the Strigoi's life fluid or vitae.

		During night, the “strigoi” (the souls) leave the bodies of the human beings (who remain as dead) and they cause all kind of damages: they steal the milk of the cows, the wheat from the field or even the men`s virility, they influence the rain or turn the world upside down.
