- Gwent description

Protofleder is the unevolved ancestor[1] of the vampire known as fleder. The species is first introduced in the Blood and Wine expansion and can only encountered in the unusual caves of Hen Gàidh, where a gate between the vampires' world opened then closed. They emit a red glow from their bodies that dies out when killed.

The bestiary entry can be obtained by reading Forgotten Species: The Protofleder.

Bestiary entry[]

Never seen a vampire like that in my life.
Geralt of Rivia, witcher
Protofleders are relatives of fleders which came from the world of the higher vampires to our own during the Conjunction of the Spheres.
The members of this species are characterized by their considerable strength and agility as well as the strange glow they emit, a trait most likely tied to their otherworldly nature. Protofleders have never had significant contact with the outside world, having spent their entire time on our planet in the Unseen Elder's cave, whose atmosphere is very similar to that of their home world.

Combat tactics[]

Protofleders have strong regeneration powers, so Black Blood and vampire oil can be used to weaken them. Then use a combination of dodges, the Igni Sign and quick attacks on them.
