Dakhanavar
The dakhanavar is a vampire in Armenian folklore who protected the valley from intruders, first reported in Baron August von Haxthausen's account in his 1854 publication ''“Transcaucasia: Sketches of the Nations and Races Between the Black Sea and the Caspian”''. The Dakhanavar follows travelers until they stop for a rest, stalking their every move. When they finally stop, the vampire attacks them in their sleep, typically going for their feet.〔Maberry, Jonathan. ''Vampire Universe: The Dark World of Supernatural Beings that Haunt Us, Hunt Us and Hunger For Us'', p. 329.〕 The local legend would often attack travelers in the night, sucking blood from their feet. In one legend, he was outsmarted by two men who had already heard of the vampire's habits and slept with their feet under the other's head. The vampire, thinking that they were one being with two heads and no feet, ran from the valley and was never heard from again.〔Melton, J. Gordon (1999). "The Vampire Book", p. 23.〕〔Summers, Montague. "The Vampire in Europe", p. 329.〕 == The story of the Dakhanavar as documented in 1854 by Baron August von Haxthausen ==
