Vampires (including Dhampirs).

Chupacabra: which drinks goat blood.

Baobhan Sith: a fairy in Scottish lore that drinks human blood, like a cross between vampires and succubi.

Jubokk: another Japanese yokai: a tree that comes about by absorbing the blood from battle fields. It drinks the blood of passersby.

Yara-ma-yha-who: a Koori (Australian) myth. It has no teeth, but sucks the blood from octopus-like suction cups on its fingers and toes.

The Lobishomen: from Brasil looks like a hunchbacked monkey with yellow skin, black teeth, and a beard. Its female victims become nymphomaniacs.

Chiang Shih: a more colorful Chinese vampire which draws its power from the moon and is created when a cat jumps over a corpse.

Kappa: a turtle-like Japanese yokai whose vitality came from water saved in a concave depression ("bowl") on the top of the head. They dragged cows and horses to their watery homes and drank their blood (through the animals' anuses of course).

Lamia: a Greek monster with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a winged serpent--another vampire-meets-succubus.

Jiangshi: a type of a vampiric monster present in the Chinese folklore. Since it is known to be a dead creature that sucks out the living force of humans, it can be regarded as a Chinese equivalent of the legendary Western vampire or zombie.

Airavata: Winged elephants. Yes, you read that right. Winged elephants. Evil? Who knows? Maybe you have someone who secretly can ride them, and no one else can. (Indian in origin.)

Hippocampus: Yes, you might have seen these in Percy Jackson. And I’d like to see more of the half horse-half fish sea dwelling creatures.

Selkies: Irish/Scottish folklore creatures. They’re half seal, half human. In the water they want to become human, and while human they want to return to the see. The can shed their seal skin when they want to become human, and put it back on when they desire to become seal again. They can also sing well in the water.
