origin story for Veggietales: Bunnicula can turn his victims
(explains their animacy but also why they don’t have souls and a redemptive relationship with god)
the default status of a vampire is soulless but with the apparent intelligence of a well-educated human. thus vampirism is a downgrade for ensouled humans, but an upgrade for vegetables
while turned humans tend to be referred to as Undead, turned veggies are more properly called Unalive
