Looking at the [[deity|deities]] that the dwarf believes in (in the {{k|r}}elationships screen) can be quite helpful. Vampires often still worship the god that cursed them with vampirism, so one of the deities of a vampire may have a "cursed the dwarf [vampire's true name] . . ." clause. Note that the level of worship of their deity by vampires is *always* 'dubious'. (might be incorrect in 0.50+{{verify}} ) Deities also list historical figures which have begun worshiping them. If an already-cursed vampire comes to worship a new deity, they are flagged as such in the deity's history, with an "In the [season] of [year], [deity] received the worship of the [species] vampire [vampire's true name]" clause. Lacking both of these clauses from all of their deities seems to be a clear sign that the suspect is ''not'' a vampire. This non-bugged way of checking a vampire is linked to the "cheap" bugged way of checking of vampires, which is described in the final paragraph. | Looking at the [[deity|deities]] that the dwarf believes in (in the {{k|r}}elationships screen) can be quite helpful.

As mentioned in the [[#Bugs|bugs]] section, vampires can be discovered and identified in [[statue|statuary]] and [[engraving]], through their refusal to claim [[bed]]rooms, through [[pet|adoption events]], and through [[weapon]] [[kill list]]s. Additionally, if you have the vampire on follow, their title will change from their usual one ("Dwarf A") to "Dwarf A Vampire" when they are doing certain activities. |
There are a few "cheap" ways as well. [[Utilities#DFHack|DFHack]] has a special command, "cursecheck," which returns the count of cursed creatures on a tile, and will report vampires. Anyway, it shows only "true" vampire name, which you cant find at unit list, and you can just check one dwarf at a time, so good tactics is to start check from new mayor, traders, administrators and other social-based dwarves. You also can use "cursecheck nick" command at the moment, when there is no cursor on the screen (for example when you at {{K|U}}nit List screen), and after running at Unit list press {{K|v}}iew and then {{K|y}}customize to look at the nickname: if unit is vampire - such will be his nickname. DF Hack manual says that set the type of curse as nickname does not always show up in-game, some vamps don’t like nicknames. | There are a few "cheap" ways as well.
