Questions and answers
What is a group of vampires called?
Coven is the dictionary's word. Wiktionary, read October 3, 2026, gives it the sense of a family, group or assembly of vampires in fantasy fiction. One published tabletop game sorts its vampires into clans and sects instead, so no single word is official.
What are some group names for vampires?
The Sunless Moonflower Court, The Most Ancient Tower Raven Coven, The Nightbound Candelabra Brood and, for a comedy game, The Garlic-Averse Looking Glass Knitting Circle. Each is one opener, one emblem and one house word from the lists on this page.
Are the names taken from a vampire book, game or show?
No. The lists are our own. No pair of neighboring parts appears in ten Wikipedia articles on vampire fiction, games, films and series, read October 3, 2026. Entries that matched a title or a named group there were taken out.
