Here is a copy of my summary of what we know about Vampires from the Twilight world:
- They are extremely fast.
- They have physical strength stronger than any human and are able to lift objects hundreds of times their own weight, may stop a cement truck on a freeway with one hand.
- Sparkle in the sunlight.
- Related: skin and bodies are made of a material that is hard as diamond and is very difficult to penetrate.
- Enhanced sense of sight (sharper vision than humans, unhindered by darkness)
- Hearing enhanced: can hear even the smallest most muted sounds
- Extremely flexible.
- Do have reflections in mirrors and can show up in photographs.
For those of us who are used to the ‘traditional’ vampire mythology * it does not apply here. These vampires will not be harmed by sunlight (see above sparkle), garlic, holy water, silver, any type of stake or cross, and they do not require permission to enter a home. Human weapons including bullets, axes, etc, are likely to bounce off of them without any pain.
The best way to kill them? Dismember the body and burn the remains.
My recommendation is to have flame throwers available for those of us who do not have super strength and allow those who do have stronger and faster than human reflexes to move in to dismember the bodies. Any vampire that we succeed in dismembering should be burned completely.
I believe this summarizes what I’ve found, but Giles, if I’ve missed something please add it. And if anyone else has experience with these particular vampires that would be useful for us to know about please note it as well.
*I say that with quotations because what is traditional in each of our worlds may be slightly different, but the ‘traditional’ lore in this reality and the traditional lore in my own reality are similar.
May be a ridiculous question, but I don't suppose you have any interest in going to this prom they're having?
