“You'll have to forgive him. His prized axe was STOLEN! I saw who did it, too!”

—Vampastra, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Vampastra is a Spark that appears in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, located in Palette Prime, from the side quest Bury the Hatchet. In the side quest, Sweetlopek tasks the heroes to find his axe, which was stolen. They eventually find the culprit; a Rabbid named Hinky, who only took it from order by the Dryad. The axe is in a Darkmess Puddle however, and the heroes must cleanse the puddle in a battle known as The Stolen Axe. After completing the side quest, Vampastra joins the heroes on their adventure.

In battle, Vampastra's ability is Vamp Attack, which gives the hero's weapon the Lifesteal Super Effect for one turn, as well as increasing the attack power. When a hero attacks an enemy with their weapon, they will cause the Lifesteal Super Effect, healing by 30% of the damage. Vampastra can be upgraded by feeding him Star Bits, which increase the attack power. Vampastra's passive ability is Critical Buddy, which increases the chance of critical hits for the hero's weapon. When upgraded, the critical hit chance increases even more.

Vampastra is a dark purple Spark. His color is the same as the Lifesteal Super Effect, as well as the Vampire Super Effect from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
