Ghoul

Ghouls are zombie-like creatures that are created when a vampire drains the blood of someone who is not a virgin. If fatally wounded, they instantly crumble to dust. They are under the control of the vampire who bites them, eat human flesh, and are intelligent enough to use firearms. It is not rare to see a vampire amass a small army of Ghouls for offence and defence.

Artificial vampires can make all of their victims ghouls regardless of whether they are virgins or not. They can also survive even if the host vampire is destroyed.
