According to J. Gordon Melton, from his book, The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead, in some areas, a true dhampir possessed a "slippery, jelly-like body and lived only a short life—a belief ... that vampires have no bones."
Prema J. Gordonu Meltonu, iz knjige The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead, u nekim područjima, pravi dhampir posjedovao je "sklizak, tijesto poput tijela i živio je samo kratki život - vjerovanje da vampiri nemaju Kosti ".
