Vampires from the Deep?

Are there vampires who dwell beneath the waters of the world?
What myth, legends, and folk tales surround them?
Are they normal vampires who just prefer water to the land?
Are they blood-drinking mermaids?
Are there any such vampires in fictional books or movies?

To fully answer such questions, a whole book would be required. But let me give some telling examples.

In myths, legends, and folk beliefs, I've found four categories vampiric or neo-vampiric beings who dwell in water or come out of the water.

(1) Revenants (i.e., undead humans) who dwell in or return from the sea, lakes, or streams.
(2) Mermaids or neo-mermaids who were not born human but can be classified as vampires or neo-vampires.
(3) Neo-vampiric mermaids, those who were born human but became vampiric, or neo-vampiric, mermaids or neo-mermaids after they died.
(4) Other vampiric or neo-vampiric, supernatural creatures who dwell under water.
