User blog:Battlefan237/Battlefan's Season 1 Finale : Vampires vs. Chiang-Shih

Before the dawn of science, myth and tales about the undead had already been haunting around our civilizations. In the west, those undead came in the form of demonic blood-thirsty creatures named Vampires, while in ancient China, folk tales also depicted a kind of resurrected cannibals named Chiang-Shih, who was regarded as the Asian counterpart of Vampires. Though these two creatures have many differences in their habits, appearance, and ways to kill, there's no doubt that when they clashed into each other, they would spare no mercy and remorse. When the legends crashes, who will survive and who will be turned into victims ? We shall see......

Vampires
Vampires are a type of demonic undead creature that held a natural hunger for blood. The common interpretation of vampires describes them as human-alike skinny, pale and hunchback ghouls that reside in the darkness, waiting for midnight to go out and hunt animals or humans for blood. They're also believed to have superhuman strength and endurance, though they can be physically harmed our destroyed through huge impact, explosion or certain strike on head, chest, neck or other weak parts. It's important to strengthen that Vampires featured in this battle come in the forms of common mythological version of Vampire, not in the form of specific vampire members (like the court) or ant special vampires that have been featured in literature or movies. Now let's seee what they bring in :
 * Extremely Close Range : Fangs. As you know, Vampires need to bite people and animals in order to suck out their blood. So sharp fangs are  in need.
 * Close Range : Claws. Vampires have animal-alike claws, allowing them to slash their opponents.
 * Special : Shapeshifting. Vampires can change their forms into bats for limited short period of time. This allows them to approach their opponents from air.
 * Psychological feature : Vampire roar / cry / scream. Used to create fearsome atomphere.
 * Other ability : Superhuman strength and endurance, superhuman stealth, superhuman agility and so on. We'll be discussing these features and comparing them with those of Chiang-Shih's in X-factor Section of this blog.

Chiang-Shih
Chiang-Shih（僵尸）, is a kind of mythtical creature that have been featured in various Chinese legends, classic literatures and movies. The term "僵尸"  means "Stoned Deadbody" in Chinese, which suggests that Chiang-Shih is also a kind of resurrected creature, similar to voodoo zombies. In fact, in a classic Qing Dynasty Novel, Chiang-Shih was described to be dead bodies of men died from extreme sorrow being resurrected by dark magic. They usually dressed in traditional Chinese costume from Qing Dynasty, and appear to be cyanosed in skin. These creatures maintain natural hunger for human spirit, which can be consumed by Chiang-Shih through sucking the blood of their victims or constant breathing towards the victim's forehead (where the ancient Chinese people believe the spirit of man exist ). They're also described to have superhuman strength and endurance. However, it's important to point out here that the original page for Chiang-Shih on this wikia exaggerated the ability of Chiang-Shih a little bit. Now let's see what they bring in ：
 * Extremely Close Range : Poisonous Teeth. In most descriptions, the teeth of Chiang-Shih are slightly sharpened. Due to the fact that Chiang-Shih are men died from great sorrow and raised back to life through dark magic or cult activites, their teeth are also severely poisoned, which cannot affect themselves, but can reduce the health of or kill their opponents.
 * Close Range : Common Human hands with brute force. For some reasons, most depictions of them have mutilated teeth, but their hands are rather average hands of dead people. But those hands can burst through woods, windows and thin walls with ease.
 * Special : Groundhogs ability and Kangroo Jumps. Before rising up to the ground, Chiang-Shih buried themselves in soil before dusk, and they can travel underground without making any noise.  When they reach the ground, they can jump like this guy, up down the rooves.
 * Psychological feature : They can't roar or scream, but their appearances are way scarier than those Vampires. They have twisted face, mutilated skins and they wear costumes with weird pictures and totems drawn on.
 * Other ability : Fairly the same with Vampires, but I'll discuss that in X-Factor Section below.
