He has long legs with feet including two light cyan toenails on each. He also has navy blue eyelids.

Biography
Early life
Little is known about Vampos' past. At one point in time, he managed to gain an obsession with sports. During a time when he tried to introduce himself and his tribemates to their Orbiton neighbors, it ended in a botched attack from the Orbitons, leaving the Glowkies to leave in confusion.
First adventures
During a supposed attack, he tailed Niksput and Flamzer, only to find himself running away back to the caves. He and Boogly ruined Globert's attempt at a dramatic introduction, and eventually invited them to join in a cave rave.
He later helped perform a big musical number to tell about the dangers of the Gravity Plug.
When Flamzer claimed that he did not exist outside of his story, he broke down into tears. ("Mixel Moon Madness!")
Further adventures
Vampos had attended a special convention with his Glowkie tribemates, fellow alien tribe the Orbitons, and new friends, the Infernites. At it, they competed in quite a few events. ("Mixels Convention Craze")
Vampos was one of many Mixels who were forced to outrun the Nixelstorm and help shut it down. ("Mixels Rush")
Vampos was one of almost all of the Mixels who searched and fought for the Mixamajig, and then captured by King Nixel. He Maxed with his branch of the Glowkies in order to defeat him, and Mixopolis was revealed by the Weldos soon after.("The Quest for the Lost Mixamajig")
Set information

Trivia

Behind the acenes
Early development
Vampos's eyelids originally made him look more tired and shy, slightly opposite to his personality.
Name and basis
Vampos's name is a play on the word "vampire" with the Greek suffix "-os" (used for male names in Greek) added on. He is also the second Mixel to have a Greek-based name, the first being Seismo (whose name is a Greek root meaning "earthquake").
As his name and appearance suggest, he is based on a vampire bat.
Voice
In the TV series, and where sound clips are used, Vampos's voice is provided by Sam Riegel. He has a slight surfer accent.
Content
Vampos appeared with the rest of Series 4 through 6 at Toy Fairs in late January and early February 2015.
Vampos debuted in the TV series on March 9, 2015 in Mixel Moon Madness!, while his LEGO set officially became available on February 1 with the rest of Series 4.
