ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Vampire

Vampires are make-believe creatures with fangs that like to drink blood to stay alive. They are often shown in movies and stories as being very pale with black hair and red eyes. They don't like the sun because it can burn their sensitive skin, and they usually come out at night. Some people think vampires can turn into bats or wolves, but that part is not true.

Now, let's talk about how vampires drink blood. You see, they need blood to survive, but they can't just go around biting people's necks - that would be mean! Instead, they usually find people who are asleep and drink their blood without waking them up. Some vampires claim that they only drink a little bit from each person and never enough to hurt them.

The good news is that vampires aren't real, so we don't have to worry about them actually drinking our blood. But they sure are fun to read about and watch in movies!
