Originally published at: [Dead and Loving It – Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.com/dead-and-loving-it/) **New Troop: Nofseratu** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/9/f9617dda98da0c82c3d8d297ea4c2a3e9859c331.jpg) ](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/blog_nosferatu-1.png) Often known as the children of Draakulis, the Nosferatu are very ancient vampires, who have mastered many of the vampiric talents. Perhaps the most feared thing about the Nosferatu is their ability to shape into either a bat, allowing them to travel great distances, or into an Umberwolf, who can suck the life from their prey. _Troop Type: Undead_ **New Troop: Bat Swarm** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/3/e3fe2ae490df5a36b9c0386aa0513a6355bbb5c3.jpg) ](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/blog_batswarm.png) Bat Swarms are (unsurprisingly) common sights in Ghulvania. Though, often harmless to human, as they’re looking for blood from cattle and livestock, VERY occasionally, a vampire will shift his form adn travel with the bats as their leader. _Troop Type: Beast_ **New Legendary Troop: Umberwolf** [ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/6/761cb5ff06ea4544317db9fc56d837ec942a4613.jpg) ](https://gemsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/blog_umberwolf.png) The most feared form of the Nosferatu is the Umberwolf, since it’s said that his howl is an omen of death for those who hear it. _Troop Types: Undead/Beast_ Nosferatu is available from Event Chests and for Glory Bat Swarm is available for Glory and a Shop Troop Pack Umberwolf is available from Event chests only All troops will enter normal chests in about 4 weeks time. Please note this Event is on the XBox One, PS4, PC and Mobile versions of the game (yes that’s ALL of them!).

Unfortunately not, it is something we want to do more of, but we weren’t able to for Halloween. ---

On Nosferatu, it says “turn into a shadow wolf or a bat swarm”. Is it meant to be “turn into a Umberwolf or a Bat Swarm”? Also, all of the card art says they have no troop type? Is that correct? ---

The troop types are listed in the text of the post. The card images were made up from earlier versions of the troops. ---
