'''Venom''' is an organic, poisonous fluid that is produced by saliva glands within a [[vampire]]'s mouth. It serves six purposes:

−

#As the basis for their physiology.

−

#As a means to paralyze their prey in pain to prevent them from escaping.

−

#As a pleasant scent to lure in the vampires' human victims.

−

#As a toxin poisonous to animals and [[shape-shifter]]s.

−

#To repair a torn limb of a vampire.

−

#And, very occasionally, as a means for vampires to propagate their species. The victim cannot run so the vampire can kill the victim or allow her/him to change.

When a vampire bites a [[human]], the venom will be passed from the vampire's mouth into the person's bloodstream. If the blood contaminated with venom isn't fully sucked away, the [[human]]'s heart will pump the venom throughout his or her cardiovascular system and start to infect every cell it passes within the host's body. Over the span of 2-3 days, the venom will have saturated all cells within the host, completing his or her transformation into a vampire. The process is known to be slow and painful, described with the feeling of being burned alive.

−

When a vampire is bitten by another vampire, the venom from the teeth will create a permanent bitemark usually invisible to human eyes, and the pain is supposedly stinging but eventually passing.

−

By licking the venom on an open wound or the edge of a disembodied limb, the wounds will successfully heal. However, it does not make a lost body part grow out again or reattach torn hair.

−

Vampires may 'drip out' some venom from their teeth while smelling something irresistible, as shown by [[Jasper]] in ''[[Midnight Sun]]''.

−

[[Children of the Moon|Real werewolves]] are the only known species to be completely immune to vampire venom, whether in the painful or transformative departments.<ref>[[The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide]]</ref>
