Vampire
Vampires (吸血鬼) are considered to be a type of devil in Gensokyo. Although there are multiple known vampires in or around Gensokyo, they are apparently a relatively new race. Vampires possess a number of powerful abilities, including super-strength, super-speed, summoning demons, transforming into a swarm of bats, and regeneration. They also have a lot of weaknesses, including sunlight (which is why vampires are usually active at night) and flowing water (such as rain or a river). In Gensokyo, vampires, like oni, are vulnerable to roasted soybeans. Despite the number of weaknesses, people who plan to fight vampires should not exploit their weaknesses carelessly. Fortunately, when not causing an incident vampires tend to be polite (if not also self-centered).
There appears to be a contract between vampires and other youkai where the vampires do not attack the humans of Gensokyo and the youkai bring them humans for them to feed on. An unnamed vampire is the primary instigator of the incident that led to the creation of the spell card rules.
