The Nosferatu are the least human-appearing of all the clans. They look something like feral animals. Their smell and appearance is revolting- one could even say monstrous. Long bulbous ears, coarse-skinned skulls covered with tufts of hair, and elongated faces splotched with disgusting warts and lumps are among their less nauseating features.

After Nosferatu have been Embraced, they undergo an exceptionally painful period of transformation. Over a period of weeks, they slowly shift from their motral countenances to their Nosferatu visages. In the beginning , the childer may revel in their newfound powers, but soon the pain and the changes will begin. The psychological trauma of becoming such a loathsome monstrosity is often more painful than the physical symptoms.

All to often, a Nosferatu's rage at their condition festers in to a vindictive hatred of beautiful people. Stories of vengeful Nosferatu going on killing sprees at beauty pagents and fashion shoots are not unknown. Indeed, Sabbat Nosferatu are often asked to do just that during a city takeover, as such high-profile slayings jeopardize the Camarilla's Masquerade.

The best most satisfying form of revenge, however, is to find a beautiful, happy person and Embrace him. Despite themselves, Nosferatu relish the agonized wails of a former Narcissus who realizes that he has been condemned to eternity as a monster. The younger Nosferatu call such a victim a "Cleopatra," after the vain trapeze artist of the horror movie Freaks (a former beauty, the cinematic Cleopatra was grotesque, disfigured at the end of the film).
