I feel that this needs to be debated by the monster experts here.
Vampires and zombies are both undead creatures. Yet vampires feed on blood and are generally regarded as intelligent and cunning. But zombies feed on actual brains, yet are portrayed as bumbling idiots.
What's the deal there? I need answers. Discuss.
Zombies feed on brains because they don't have any, and think eating them will make them smarter. Vampires drink blood to stay alive and immortal.
At least, that's what I've heard when I've asked similar questions.
Zombies just meant to be more dead than a vampire.

Me: How can they "think" it will "make them smarter" if they "don't have any" brains? Brought to you by Chicken/Egg Publishing LLC.
Let’s look at this other ways: what happens if a vampire drinks a zombie’s blood? Or if a zombie bites a vampire?
Okay Robert you're asking the real questions here. I'm going to say that if a vampire drinks zombie blood, it won't count as blood and the vampire will have to drink human blood afterwards because zombies are already dead. If a zombie bites a vampire, the vampire won't turn into a zombie because it's already dead.
And, yes, this is low-key Dark Universe post.
