==Physical Description==
The Yssgaroths and their universe were discovered by the [[Time Lord]]s in one of [[Rassilon]]'s early attempts to create a [[black hole]]. Instead of creating a [[black hole]], they accidentally punched a hole through space into [[Yssgaroth's Universe]]. The Yssgaroth escaped and caused mass destruction. The [[Time Lord]]s, led by [[Kopyion Liall a Mahajetsu]], tried to stop them, leading to the thousand year [[Eternal War]].

The Great Vampires were colossal [[humanoid]]s with grey skin and wings. Like lesser [[vampire]]s, the Great Vampire required [[blood]] to survive, but due to their large size they needed considerably more. Great Vampires were extremely powerful and one individual could drain a whole [[planet]] dry. They had the ability to absorb energy, such as from weapons, and were able to survive numerous minor wounds. The only way to kill one was to stab them through the heart, usually with a iron stake. More powerful Great Vampires needed to have their heart fully destroyed in order to kill them.


==History==
One of Rassilon's titles was "Conqueror of Yssgaroth". ([[BFA]]: ''[[Zagreus]]'')
The Great Vampires suddenly appeared in the universe, causing mass destruction and chaos. The [[Time Lord]]s hunted these creatures down in a long and bloody [[Time Lord-Vampire War|war]], using [[bowship]]s to pierce their hearts. Though the [[Time Lord]]s won, they incurred heavy casualties, and even then the leader of the Vampires escaped into [[E-Space]]. After time, the records of this war were lost and passed into legend.
