The Hopping Vampire is here for HALLOWEEN! This avatar was inspired by the hopping vampire movies from Hong Kong like Mr. Vampire (Youtube it and you'll see!)

It came from the mythical folklore practice of "Traveling a Corpse over a Thousand Li", where traveling companion or family members who could not afford wagons or have very little money would hire Tao priests to transport corpses of their friends/family members who died far away from home over long distances by compelling them to hop (with the use of taoist magic) on their own feet back to their hometown for proper burial.

This package includes :-

LU SHA YUE, THIRST FOR BLOOD OUTFIT :
~ Full Qing Dynasty Court Robe with authentic chinese fabric details
~ Imperial Court Hat
~ Manchu Pigtail
~ Bead Necklace
~ Sculpted Chinese Boots

SPECIAL VAMPIRE ACCESSORIES:
~ Nasty sharp pointy teeth (with dripping blood effects)
~ Nasty sharp pointy nails*
~ Talisman (subdues zombie feeding behaviour, doesnt work all the time XD)
~ Custom-made 'Zombie' AO with 1 hopping animation & 1 standing animation. This uses the free ZHAO II AO HUD.

*Important notes:
~ to fit the robe skirt, it is advised that you modify your shape to minimize your butt.
~ nails attach to the hand not to the fingers - so may look displaced when the hands are closed.

A notecard of the story of Lu Sha Yue is included to give you an idea of the background of this design.

Enjoy!
