when you think about it vampirates were really a shameless gash grab. like 90% of their roster is just reskins. half of their roster is just zombies with pirate hats and different types of guns. if you want to be generous and say "but that's the point of vampire pirates" the rest of their roster is even worse. syreens are just vaguely nautical themed wraith reskins. dogs and bats are literally just vc dogs and bats and aren't even pirate themed. mornghouls don't have a single pirate or naval themed aspect to their design or description. basically the only actually original vampirate units are the crabs and the necrofex, which is arguably just a reskinned bone giant.
