Katakans, Bruxae, and Alps(Alpor) are all listed as Higher Vampires. Although it does not clarify this on the page, it can be noted that it does say that they can turn in "giant bats"-thus meaning katakans or even ekimmarae, as that is their natural form. However, the difference between true Ekimmarae, Katakans, and Higher Vampires is that- Katakans and Ekimmarae are naturally born into this state, or have chosen to remain in their beastial forms for extended periods of time in slumber, forcing them to remain thusly even should they wake. Higher Vampires however, like this individual seen in the video, have a natural human form, but can choose to change at will, while still receiving the exact same benefits in their human forms-speed, strength, invulnerability, etc.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Also to be mentioned, this is not the only vampire like this that you encounter. There is a side quest that you can gain that has you wandering into an old tomb to help a scholar retrieve a scroll from an elven sarcophagus. Inside said sarcophagus, lies a resting Higher Vampire who had been asleep for possibly centuries, and was waiting for the mid-1300s to awaken. Should you attempt to awaken him a second time, he attacks in his bestial form, resulting in a battle. At the end, you can loot the scroll and several other items off of him...
