Vampir ()

History: Vampir was the first of a series of female Cardians - selected by Ann from a mystical deck of tarot cards and summoned by Ail with his flute - sent to gather energy from humans in order to feed the Makaiju, specifically from young girls dreaming of romance. Immediately after being called upon by the two aliens, Vampir went on a nighttime rampage through the streets of Tokyo, attacking any female she happened upon, including Naru Osaka when she became an eyewitness to an attack on a victim in the alleyway facing her bedroom window and Usagi Tsukino when the latter came to check up on her best friend after one of their phone conversation was interrupted by the monster's actions. Artemis, who, together with Luna, had tracked the creature's progress and attempted to defend Naru as best they were able, managed to capture the Cardian's attention and lure her away from the scene before Usagi was rendered unconscious by the energy draining process. 
                Despite his best efforts to the contrary, Artemis eventually fell prey to Vampir and may well have ended up in a similar state as her previous victims had it not been for the timely intervention of Usagi Tsukino as Sailor Moon, whose memories of being a Sailor Soldier as well as of the final battle with the Dark Kingdom circumstance had forced Luna to restore, something she expressed her great displeasure to the monster about. Though initially successful at avoiding her attacks, Sailor Moon was soon incapacitated by the Cardian, who began draining her of her energy a second time, though Luna managed to distract the monster by biting her arm long enough for the Sailor Soldier to regain her bearings and destroy Vampir with her "Moon Tiara Action".

Abilities: Aside from being able to physically manifest herself after being summoned by Ail's flute playing, Vampir possessed a superhuman leaping ability, was rather agile and quick on her feet, and, like all Cardians, could collect energy from living creatures and store it within her own body for an indefinite period of time before eventually releasing it in order to feed the Makaiju. In this particular case, energy drainage was accomplished through physical contact with the prehensile, elongatable stamens of the red flower that comprised the monster's right hand, though these could also be used to incapacitate and restrain individuals by tightly wrapping themselves around them or as a weapon in a manner reminscent of a whip or chain. The center of the aforementioned blossom was also able to expand to form a mouthlike formation complete with sharp teethlike projections that was probably capable of consuming objects in the same manner as the real thing. Vampir could also extend the length of her right arm to incredible lengths.
