Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 10 Best Characters Only In One Episode

4. Dracula

There's no bigger big bad when it comes to vampires than the Impaler himself, Dracula. Except that Buffy dispatches him in a single episode.

But what doesn't he get done in that single episode? He ensnares Xander, tempts Giles and even feeds off Buffy's blood.

Dracula (portrayed here by Rudolf Martin) is far more than just a famous vampire, much to Spike's chagrin. He is proficient in many magicks; a shapeshifter, regularly transforming into a myriad of animals; a skilled hypnotist, controlling those under his thrall; and has a taste for the grand, the gothic and the theatrical.

Dracula is slain by Buffy, twice (reemerging for a last scare), only to gather and dissipate once more. From the comics, if nothing else, we can be sure he's still out there working his seductive charms.
