Have you never read that vampires are not the only beings who avoid the sun?
Do you want a list of some beings?
Spoiler
:
Vampires
: Vampires are often depicted as creatures that are harmed or weakened by sunlight, leading to their need to hide during the day.
Draugr
: In Norse mythos, draugr are undead beings that guard their graves. They are often said to be weakened by sunlight, which can diminish their power.
Ghouls
: Ghouls are often depicted as undead creatures that feast on human flesh. They are sometimes said to prefer darkness and can be harmed by sunlight.
Banshees
: Banshees are female spirits whose wails foretell death. They are often associated with darkness and are less powerful in sunlight.
Wendigo
: In Algonquian folklore, the wendigo is a malevolent spirit associated with winter and famine. While not explicitly harmed by sunlight, it is often depicted as a creature of darkness.
Kitsune
: In Japanese mythos, kitsune (fox spirits) can be powerful beings that can transform into humans. While they are not harmed by sunlight per se, their powers can be diminished during the day.
Shadows
: Several mythologies feature shadowy creatures or entities that thrive in darkness and are weakened or banished by light.
