Vampires existed as a crossbreed between humans and bats. In the New World, they werequite regarded as a high ranked existencesthat could easily destroy a small town alone.

In the Overlord series, the author seems to set tiers for vampires as shown below:

Most of the vampires in YGGDRASIL are far from the modern 'aristocratic, mysterious race' archetype of vampires. Instead, they look like a horrible mix of bat and human. Shalltear's beautiful appearance is just a result of customization by her creator.

Vampires possess numerous special abilities, which includes mystic eyes of charming, life drain, creating spawn through blood drain, powerful muscular strength and fast healing. As undead creatures, they are effectively immortal. Noted for their longevity and taste for blood, they are considered deadly heteromorphic monsters. A normal Vampire can only make far less intelligent Lesser Vampires, but as a True Vampire, they are far more capable of spawning vampires that have more or less the same mental capacity as humans. For that reason, Vampires could summon their familiars if not dealt with swiftly beforehand.[3]

Despite their staggering advantages over humans, vampires are not always invincible and can be slain through a number of means. For their instance, vampires are commonly weak against sunlight, cleansing from divine magic casters, and silver or magic-type weapons.[4] Additionally, unless it is composed of special metals, hold a certain amount of mana, or things like Minor Healing Potions that are specially effective for undead like vampires.[5]

Vampires prefer places where the sunlight does not reach.They have developed a rather twisted sense of superiority over the living. Hence they would not dwell within cities with prey aplenty, nor would they hide deep within the sewers, they prefer a luxurious underground abode. A situation where they would stay in a roughly built cave is non-existent.

Apparently there are a group known as the Vampire Lords who are considered as legendary existences by the inhabitants of the New World.
