Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Darkness Adaptation: They possess perfect night vision and can see clearly even in complete darkness.
- Enhanced Bite: Strigoi have an animalistic bite and jaw strength that allows them to shred and rend flesh.
- Heightened compulsion: Strigoi can control the minds of humans, Dhampirs, and Moroi to a certain degree through eye contact and verbal commands.
- Immortality: Strigoi are unable to be killed by natural causes (e.g., age, disease, heart failure, suffocation, etc.) except by staking them in the heart with a silver stake, by fire, by sunlight, or by decapitation.
- Pain Tolerance: Strigoi can feel pain, though the older and more powerful they are, the higher their pain tolerance. Strigoi have the ability to heal from any injury within seconds.
- Species Detection: With ease, they are able to distinguish between Strigoi, dhampirs, Moroi, witches, and ordinary people. Although dhampirs look almost like humans, they are recognized with ease by Strigoi via enhanced vision and smell.
- Superior Endurance: Strigoi can maintain physical performance longer than Dhampirs and Moroi and not be greatly fazed by attacks.
- Superior Senses: They can see, taste, touch, and hear better than moroi and dhampirs.
- Superior Speed: Strigoi are faster than dhampirs and Moroi. They can easily catch up to their Moroi, dhampir, or human prey.
- Superior Strength: Strigoi are significantly stronger and more fit than dhampirs or Moroi. A single strigoi can brutally beat even a well-trained dhampir into submission.
- Supernatural Beauty: Similarly to Moroi, Strigoi are attractive by human standards. It is unclear whether this applies to human-turned Strigoi; however, Moroi and Dhampir-turned Strigoi are described to retain their attractiveness, which is amplified even further by their newfound grace.
- Supernatural Healing Factor: Strigoi heal and recover almost instantly from any injury besides a silver stake in their heart, decapitation, or being burned by fire or sunlight. Blood can make recovery even faster and easier.
- Vampirization: Strigoi can turn a human, Dhampir, or Moroi into another of their kind if any one drinks any amount of their blood, usually by force. Moroi can turn themselves into Strigoi by killing or draining their victim when they feed.

Weaknesses[]
- Decapitation: Separating the head from the Strigoi's body will instantly kill them.
- Fire: Fire is one of the four ways to kill a Strigoi; therefore, they tend to avoid it for fear of losing their immortality.
- Oxygen Dependence: While Strigoi cannot die from suffocation, they still require oxygen and will lose consciousness if deprived of oxygen for too long.
- Religious Symbols: Strigoi hate religion, holy water, saint crosses, and churches. They can't enter holy ground.
- Silver Stake: The weapon damages the Strigoi's heart and kills them. A silver stake that is charmed with spirit magic can transform Strigoi back into their original form. A cut from a silver stake will cause them immense pain and has been described as feeling like acid being poured on their skin.
- Sunlight: Strigoi burn when they are in direct sunlight.
