Leeches. Vampires are leeches.

(Haemophagia is a metabolically marginal diet—blood is notably short on nutrients!—so all actually-existing haemophagic species are highly specialized. I once did a BOTE calculation and worked out that a human-size vampire would need to bleed about one victim per hour completely dry to avoid starvation.)
