* In the ''[[Soul Eater]]'' manga, Death The Kid (who, for bonus points, is a shinigami) {{spoiler|teams up with the immortal werewolf Free to fight the bloodsucking Mosquito, who eventually takes on a very vampiric form. Partially subverted because, once Mosquito takes on this form, Free doesn't actively participate in the battle and it becomes a one-on-one fight.}}

Line 44:
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' features a group of college-age, amateur monster-hunters known as the "Alphas", who have learned how to turn themselves into enormous wolves. They use their abilities to protect Chicago's university district from various monster threats, including the occasional vampire attack. Later on, in ''Turn Coat'', two of the Alphas fight a White Court vampire straight-up and manage to defeat her with repeated hit-and-run attacks.
* In [[
** [[You Have Failed Me]], natch. Also I believe [[All There in the Manual|some versions]] say he could tell she didn't smell right and she had to spell her way out of it.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Two episodes of ''[[Tales
** In the episode "The Secret", an orphan is adopted by a wealthy, childless couple, who turn out to be vampires. After they hunt him down at the end, the child reveals he's a werewolf, and promptly kills them.
** In the episode "Werewolf Concerto", a group of guests at a secluded hotel suspect one of them is a werewolf. In the end, the guest played by Timothy Dalton turns out to be the lycanthrope, but is killed by another guest, Beverly D'Angelo, who turns out to be a vampire.
* Interestingly mostly averted in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. There is only one meeting between Angelus and werewolf Oz, in which they merely growl at each other until Angelus backs off. Of course, Oz does occasionally stake vampires, but that's because he's a Scooby, not because he's a werewolf.
** In his own series, Angel dates a werewolf for a while. It doesn't work out, but again, that has nothing to do with her lycanthropy.
* In ''[[Big Wolf
* ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]'' has it, though it's more of a part of the larger case of Everything Against Fang. The vampiric Fangire race hunts and kills the other 12 Demon Races as well as humans, which includes their killing [[Last of His Kind|all but one]] of the Wolfen, Merman, and Franken races. Thus the last Wolfen, Garulu (AKA Jiro) has a well-justified hatred for Fangire and is all too eager to battle them in 1986 with the prototype IXA System. {{spoiler|He mellows out later on and makes a blood oath to watch over his friend Otoya's son, resulting in the eponymous Kiva being able to call upon Garulu's power in battle.}}
* Averted in the upcoming episode of [[Deadliest Warrior]] where they'll be pitting Vampires against...zombies. Yeah...
Line 62:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* It's quite a bit of a stretch, but [[Touhou]] ''Imperishable Night'' could qualify for this trope. One playable team includes the vampire [[Your Vampires Suck|Remillia Scarlet]], and Keine Kamishirasawa (who is a [[Our Werewolves Are Different|werehakutaku]]) is the stage 3 boss.
* Seeing as both are playable in ''[[
* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', the human nation of [[Victorian London|Gilneas]] is invaded by the Forsaken, a playable race of undead/zombies aligned with [[The Horde]]. Problem is, most of the population of Gilneas has been bitten by [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Worgen]] and are turning into werewolves. This leads to [[[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]] Victorian Gentleman Werewolf Terrorists using guerilla tactics to fight back against the Forsaken.
* Actually subverted in ''[[

Line 71:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[J. Michael Straczynski]] wrote an episode of ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'', "No One Comes To Lupusville" ([[House (TV series)|they never come to Lupusville]]), in which a group of vampires lure the Ghostbusters to an isolated town filled with odd but friendly people. Once they realize what's going on, the Ghostbusters free the captured townsfolk, only to find them more than eager to take on the vampires themselves. Angry and now under a full moon, they transform into werewolves and proceed to kick vampire ass. The 'busters do the rational thing and [[Know When to Fold'Em|get the hell out of Dodge]], destroying the only bridge out of town on the way (imprisoning the were-vamps, as anything vampiric could not cross running water).
** Hilariously, as the two sides fight, whenever any combatant from any side bites an enemy, said enemy instantly becomes the other type of critter.
{{quote| '''Egon:''' Think about it, Peter. When a vampire bites someone, he becomes a vampire, right?<br />
Line 88:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The comic ''Werewolves on the Moon: Versus Vampires'', seriously.
* ''[[Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose]]'' has a were-cat named Boo Cat in a sexual relationship with a vampire named Liquorice Dust. At least 3 of the vampire's friends don't mind, and have joined in. However, the same issue had a werewolf who had very different ideas on inter-species romances. It also featured an [[Anvilicious]] speech, a [[Stripperiffic]] Little Red Riding Hood costume, and an example of why you shouldn't try to force your tongue down the throat of an angry were-creature.
* Subverted as a joke in the comic ''Supernatural Law''. The receptionist for [[Occult Law Firm|the titular law firm]] is dismayed to realize that she's booked appointments for a werewolf and a vampire at the same time: "You know what happens when they meet. You can't pull 'em apart..." Cut to the two merrily exchanging jokes. "...when they're into their shop talk."
== [[Film]] ==
* The ''[[Underworld (
** Parodied in ''[[Stationery Voyagers]]'', where the "Feather Against Proboscis" conflict was started over a charity organization being destroyed by a [[Our Vampires Are Different|Mosquatlon]] tyrant who didn't want the [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Aviatets']] economic problems resolved ''[[Artistic License Economics|through any means at all]].'' (Cue [[Aliens and Monsters|Alien]] [[Deus Ex Machina|intervention]], [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|just for]] [[Rule of Cool|awesome]], when said tyrant's desire to rule over surface humans and their economies leads him to want to [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds|block out the sun]]. ''[[A Wizard Did It|Muellex]][[Applied Phlebotinum|ically]]''.)
* ''Bloodz vs. Wolvez''.
Line 100:
** The Dark-Hunters are mostly faux-vamps though. However, the Were-Hunters do have a rather complicated relationship with the more vampiric Daimons. Even though they are related races, Daimons will eat the souls of Weres, and the Weres will kick Daimon butt.
* The ''[[Anita Blake Vampire Hunter|Anita Blake]]'' novels. Generally the vampires in this universe view shapeshifters as animals, or at best moderately useful tools. Jean-Claude is very rare among vampires in that he has alliances with many of the local were-groups. This is so unusual that he says at one point other vampires with an eye toward conquering his territory will think him weaker than he is because they won't view as relevant any weregroups other than his "animal to call". (Animal with which he has magical affinity- in Jean-Claude's case this is wolves and werewolves.) Then again you can't entirely blame them for thinking that, since different were-animal groups usually can't even get along with ''each other'', much less anybody else.
* This comes up a lot in the ''[[
** The antagonism is said to come from the fact that werewolves are jealous of vampires being thought of as suave and sophisticated, while vampires are jealous of werewolves being able to fit more easily into human society (when in human form, obviously).
* The vampires and werecreatures in ''[[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries]]'' don't like each other either. Of course, the vampires consider themselves ''superior'' to ''everybody else'', including humans; and even werewolves look down on all werecreatures who don't turn into wolves.
* In the Horror-tropes dimension Skeeve visited in one of the ''[[Myth Adventures]]'' novels, vampires are city folk, and look down on werewolves as country bumpkins (who likewise look down on vampires as shallow yuppies).
* In the urban fantasy series the ''[[Mortal Instruments]]'', the werewolves and vampires generally hate one another. It is explained that the two demon species which originally infected humans, giving rise to the vampires and werewolves, were rivaling species who hated one another.
* In ''[[Twilight (
** Also, the ''[[Twilight (
** They each have their own racial slurs, such as "leech" and "dog".
** Real werewolves are mentioned, but unlike the ones we see, they can't control it, and are so powerful one can take down 20 vampires with ease.
Line 121:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[
** Averted in Mitchell and George's incredibly rare case: they're BFFs against all odds.
** It's suggested that the vampires' hatred of werewolves stems from ''fear''. When transformed on a full moon, a werewolf can rip even the most powerful vampire to shreds, but for the other 27 days of the cycle they're (usually) just a normal human, so vampires kill them when they get the chance or make sure they can keep werewolves locked up during the full moon. This prejudice also backfired, inspiring some werewolves (e.g. MacNair) to hunt vampires even while they're in human form.
Line 131:
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* Of course, the example that catapulted this concept into recent memory would be the ''[[
** Vampires, for their part, didn't have any special hate for werewolves. What they had was pure unmitigated ''fear'' -- a werewolf was stronger, faster, and did aggravated damage (damage a vampire couldn't soak away with unnatural strength or outright ignore). Vampires had... the low cost of silver-plating their weapons and enough sense to not pick fights with werewolves when at all avoidable.
** It is thus ironic that in both versions of ''[[
* This trope has been excised from the ''[[
** One of the first books in the ''[[
* The finalized edition of fan-made expansion ''[[
* Since it has roots as a fan-made expansion of the ''[[
* In the old Basic/Expert/etc D&D system, powerful vampires could use their ability to control wolves, rats, and bats to control ''their lycanthropic equivalents'' as well. Not surprisingly, this made the not-yet-controlled werewolves, wererats and werebats extremely leery of vampires, though they weren't openly at war with them.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The online game ''[[
** And ''then'' there are the [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Werepyres]].
** And '''then''' they added [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|DRACOpyres]]. In case that didn't make sense, it's vampire, werewolf, and DRAGON.
** Darkovia in ''[[
* The X-Box 360 game ''[[Operation Darkness]]'' has werewolf Allies fighting vampire-aided Hitler and his [[Ghostapo]].
** Which is kind of ironic, since in real life the Nazis had a division called the "Werewolves" (not actually shapeshifters, [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|as far as we know]]).
Line 151:
* [http://www.bitefight.org/ BiteFight], Game Forge's browser-based RPG, is just that.
* The ''[[King's Quest II]]'' [[Fan Remake]] uses this to great effect. In the original game, the monk gives you a key to the vampire's castle, you trick your way into the castle, stake the vampire, and grab the key. The remake version subverts the hell out of it. The "friendly" monk at the local church {{spoiler|is leader of a werewolf pack that has been mercilessly hunting down the ruler's family. In fact, THEY were the ones responsible for turning the count of Kolyma into a vampire in the first place}}. It also turns out that {{spoiler|the grandma and [[Little Red Riding Hood]] expies are the Countess and the Count's granddaughter}}, forced to flee for their lives due to the persecution.
* ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'' is the above (tabletop) [[
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim]]'' has {{spoiler|The Companions}}, who are [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire|Friendly Neighborhood Werewolves]] who were [[Cursed
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 167:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Inverted in the NBC mini-series ''House of Frankenstein'' where it's mentioned that vampires love lycanthropes, treating them like beloved pets.
* Averted in ''[[
* Averted in [[Sanctuary]]. While there are plenty of issues between different species of Abnormals, vampires and werewolves don't seem to have any particular animosity. Tesla's interactions with Henry do manage to have a bit of this, though, but only because Tesla is kinda misanthropic and thinks all non-Vampires (minus Helen) are idiots compared to him.
Line 174:
* Subverted entirely in ''[[Blaz Blue]]''. [[Battle Butler|Valkenhayn]] [[Mysterious Middle Initial|R.]] [[Badass Grandpa|Hellsing]], a werewolf, is the faithful butler of [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|Rachel]] [[Jerk Sue|Alucard]], a vampire.
* Played with in ''[[Free Realms]]''. Both races show up for the Halloween event, and they do have a rivalry with each other (with players encouraged to choose sides)... but this is a family-friendly game, so they settle things with dance-offs.
* ''[[The Sims Social]]'' on [[
* Averted in ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' games. Vampires and werewolves don't really care about each other. They also have surprisingly similar origins. Both are creations of the Daedric Princes -- [[The Corrupter|Molag Bal]] created the Vampires, and [[Egomaniac Hunter|Hircine]] created the Werewolves. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101379.msg3013652#msg3013652 They did not get along].
* A natural result of the AI in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'', whose latest release added vampire immigrants and wandering werecreatures. One player found a random peasant in a cage trap, and when the full moon rolled around and he turned into a werepanda he was introduced to one of the resident vampires.
