Summary:


{{Template}}
The '''vrykolakas''' ([[Modern Greek|Greek]] βρυκόλακας, pronounced {{IPA-el|vriˈkolakas|}}), variant '''vorvolakas''' or '''vourdoulakas''', is a harmful [[undead]] creature in [[Greek folklore]]. It has similarities to many different [[legendary creature]]s, but is generally equated with the [[vampire]] of the folklore of the neighbouring Slavic countries. While the two are very similar, blood-drinking is only marginally associated with the ''vrykolakas''.
