** In ''[[Ravenloft]]'', sunlight is even more lethal for drow vampires than it is for normal vampires or drow, vaporizing them instantly. What's worse, even ''moonlight'' pains them, and even under a new moon, starlight makes them unable to regenerate. Elven vampires are a near-inversion, as they aren't bothered by sunlight, but are harmed by moonlight. Cerebral vampires (a variation who feed on cerebral spinal fluid rather than blood) avert this; while they must rest in their coffins for eight hours out of every 24, those eight hours don't have to be during the day, and sunlight doesn't harm them. |

** [[Mushroom Man|Myconids]] are terrified of sunlight; surface-dwellers don't know exactly what it does to them, but they do know that a myconid will die before leaving the Underdark. |

** Dark creepers (aka dark ones, dark folk, or darklings, depending on the edition) are sneaky underground-dwellers whose powers can douse light. Sunlight, however, renders them helpless. |

* In ''[[Shadowrun]]'', "Awakened" creatures (including metahuman variants) could have special allergies, such as to sunlight. Creatures with that allergy included the banshee (undead elf), barghest (dog-like), ghouls (humans infected with a magical virus), vampires and wendigo (orks infected with a virus). |

* Darklings from ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'' are humans who were reshaped by [[The Fair Folk|the Gentry]] into nightmares, terrors, and other creatures of twilight. As a result, they take a penalty to using Contracts (magical powers) during the day, one that gets worse if they try it while in direct sunlight. |
