When I was a teen I had established (and named after mythological kinds if vampires) 4 races withing the vampire species in School for Vampires. Some vampires had special physical characteristics making them different from others
The first I called "Upyr" (because "upyr" does sound similar to "vampire" in most languages and was one of its etymologies) is the most wide spread species we saw in the show. Lady Kryptina, Alarich, Oskar, Gothetta, Stoker, Klot, Ashley, Klot's father, Batoria, Nofre, Ravena, the vampire hunter's hunter, Maxine, Buck, etc etc most characters are so I am just showing one picture lol. They look like pale humans with pointy ears, deep/dark eyeshadow, claws, often but not always a flat bat-like nose and sharp canines
The 2nd I called "Nosferat" (look like Count Von Orlock from Nosferatu). They are the 2nd lost widespread, with Leechy, the postman, the Feratus and the Oxbloods (minus Ravena who must have Upyr blood since she looks like one ; also this proves the races can reproduce with each other and must look like just one parent's race, with how Orlock Feratu and Alarich are cousins but look so different). They look similar to Upyrs but "uglier", with more crooked, pointy and rougher traits, males tend to bald more easily and it's not their canines that are sharp but their upper incisives
The 3rd I called "Vrykolakas" (because vrykolakas are the Balkans equivalent of zombies and these vampires have green skin so something green coming out of a coffin could remind of one). They are very few, Walpurg is definetely one but in my memories so was Frakula but now that I watched again he looks white, pale or greenish depending of the light so I'm unsure. But supposing he is one and looks pale because he is weak after centuries without drinking inside a coffin, they are green(ish) with sharp canines like Upyrs but unlike them when their mouths it's not the upper canines that stick out but the lower (not counting Frakula who has no tooth sticking out but it's because he is old with barely enough teeth legt and other very old vampires with no much teeth left are drawn that way). Also unsure if this is a common trait but these 2 have a long pointy nose, so perhaps ?
The 4th I called "Strigoi" (no reason other than they are said to have sharp fangs and not just sharp canines and also how strigois are said to be vampire sorcerers and Ironfang has a magical car that drives by itself) and must be the rarest since we only know one in the whole show, Dr Ironfang. It is hard to describe how they are since we only have him and no comparison, but we can determine they have blue skin (not counting his retconned season 1 design that was used once ; HC he was sick that day hence why he was white) and a mouth full of sharp fangs that somehow don't stick out of their mouth when it's closed
And I suppose one becomes the race of the vampire that vampirized them since Nestor became a "Upyr" after Alarich bit him same for Sunshine after Oskar bit her. I have no idea why Nestor's canines don't stick out of his mouth while Sunshine's did and why Sunshine changed hair color though (and personality but that I saw as a side effect of being bitten by a vampire child hence why vampire children are not allowed to vampirze). You mutate slightly ?
