Higher Vampire is an Creature/Monster in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
"Men, the polite ones, at least, would call me a monster. A blood-drinking freak. -Emiel Regis, higher vampire.
Only a mutual thirst for blood links higher vampires to their distant and much more primitive cousins: ekimmaras, alps, katakans and the like. Higher vampires are, in fact, much more similar to humans than to those bat-like blood slurpers. They not only resemble us in appearance, but also share our intelligence and behavioral patterns. This means they do not squat in distant forests or hide in the shadows. On the contrary, they are particularly fond of cities, where they live out deceivingly normal lives. Even witchers are not capable of recognizing them at once, for their medallions remain perfectly motionless in the presence of higher vampires. Yet all these similarities should not blind us to an essential difference: unlike men, these vampires are immortal. Those who have faced them in combat and survived can be counted on one hand.
It is a witcher's good fortune that higher vampires are extremely rare - and not all dangerous to humans. Though they do have a taste for blood, they do not need to drink it to survive. Some higher vampires have renounced feeding on humans altogether and do no harm to anyone, but others give in to their desires. A witcher who braves fighting a higher vampire must bear in mind that he faces a monster endowed with incredible strength, one invulnerable to fire, able to manipulate men and animals, turn invisible and transform into a giant bat - and furthermore one wihich it is nearly impossible to kill. In other words, even an experienced monster slayer should think twice before accepting a contract on one of these creatures, even if half a kingdom and a princess' hand is in the offing."

AnonymousUnless the Bestiary is false, why would they have a weakness to fire if they're allegedly invulnerable to fire?
Altough I'm not entirely sure, higher vampires should be immune to daylight/sunlight, just as it is said in books by Regis (higher vampire) himself
