A rare gamemode, the station can be simultaneously infiltrated by both [[Traitor|traitors]] and [[Vampire|vampires]]. Like Traitorling, traitors can also sometimes be a traitor and a vampire, but this is much more rarer than being a traitorling. Traitorvamps get access to both their [[Syndicate_Items#Uplink|uplink]] and their vampire abilities.
===[[File:Bloodsucker.png]] [[Bloodsuckers]]===
Some of the crew are not what they appear to be! These Bloodsuckers are '''monsters''' in human form, with the ability to '''drink the blood of the living'''. Bloodsuckers must claim a lair and coffin, which they can teleport to just before the sun rises, at great blood-cost, from anywhere. Bloodsuckers choose a Clan to be a part of, changing their abilities. Bloodsuckers exposed to the sun turn to dust, and must remain in a coffin to stay safe. Bloodsuckers can turn crew into Vassals, who work to protect their master, provide a source of easy blood, and follow any orders given by their master. Bloodsuckers can have optional objectives they can choose to accomplish before the [[Escape Shuttle]] arrives at [[Central_Command|central command]], they win by surviving and completing their primary objectives, but optional objectives do not matter for a greentext.

It gets worse! The station has been infiltrated by both [[traitor|traitors]] and [[bloodsuckers]]! Great care should be taken in observing which is which so that they can be dealt with appropriately. Failure to do so may result in the syndicate achieving their objectives!

===[[File:Vampire.png|link=Vampire]] [[Vampire|Vampires]]===
Vampires are creatures of the night - predatory beings of occult origin who feed on crew members for their blood (if they have any). They have assimilated into the crew and must feed off of other crew members to gain new powers. Vampires worship Lilith, who in exchange for their humanity gives them immortality and eternal youth in exchange for a never ending hunger for blood. In the Vampires gamemode, crew are randomly selected to fill the role of a Vampire, and are given a set of objectives to fulfill.

===[[File:Monkey.png|32px]] Monkey ===
At the start of the round one of the crew members is infected with a disease that, after a while, turns them into a monkey with the ability to spread the disease to other humans by biting them. Armor does not help and the transformation takes about a minute. The disease can be cured by eating bananas, which also provides immunity to any further monkey infections. Monkeys can use almost every weapon and tool, excluding guns. Humans cannot understand monkey-speak, which shows up as "chimpers" to humans, and monkeys cannot understand human speech, which shows up "l**e ***s". The game ends when the Emergency Shuttle leaves. Monkeys also have the ability to crawl though vents but cannot wear or carry anything when doing so. The AI does not consider monkeys to be human, and may kill/contain them with impunity.

Several members of the crew wield several psionic powers and are actually the host of a powerful hivemind, with the sole goal of assimilating as many crewmembers as possible to be used as unwitting pawns and fuel for their many powers. Hivemind hosts are even stealthier than changelings and are just as likely to backstab each other due to their psychic sensing abilities! Security is the first line of defense against this silent menace, as not only do mindshields protect the crew from their dastardly mind control, they also grant the same sensory powers the hosts use to hunt each other down! If the crew fails to keep thee hosts in check, the One Mind may emerge and wreak havoc across the station.
