What is moroi meaning?

Moroi is a term used in Romanian folklore and mythology to describe a type of vampire. The term is derived from the Romanian word "mor," which means "dead." Moroi are described as the spirits of the dead who have returned to the living world. They are also said to be the offspring of male vampires and mortal women.

Moroi are believed to be weaker and less dangerous than their counterparts, the strigoi, who are more powerful and malevolent. Moroi are typically depicted as pale, slender, and well-dressed figures who are able to move silently and disappear quickly.

Moroi are said to feed on the life force or blood of their victims, but they can also be sustained by consuming food and drink like normal humans. They are vulnerable to sunlight, holy objects, and garlic, but unlike strigoi, they do not require an invitation to enter a home.

In modern literature and media, the concept of the moroi has been popularized in the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. It depicts a society of noble moroi who coexist with dhampirs (half-human, half-vampire guardians) and fight against the evil strigoi.
