Vammpa used to have quite a reputation for producing fearsome warrior types. Many of vammpa’s creatures have huge horns and many love swinging their swords around. Given all this it's no wonder a little blood gets spilt at times and this is where spykes come in. When the fighting is finished the spykes mop up the blood, keeping the place nice and tidy. They digest the blood and need little else to survive. And just in case you are wondering, no, they’re not vampires.
