Moroaicǎ are creatures created accidentally by
Alcina Dimitrescu in her quest to find pure female blood for her Sanguinis Virginis wine. They're named after a vampiric creature or phantom in Romanian folklore. Every single one of them were a victim of vicious torture by Alcina and her three 'daughters' - they were captured, taken to a dank dungeon below Castle Dimitrescu and then drained of their blood in all manner of sadistic ways.
Their life had left them, although one named
Ingrid (The Maiden) managed to escape her bonds before death and managed to explore the upper castle somewhat, looking for a way out. Unfortunately she was found by the sisters and later Alcina herself, which resulted in her capture once again.
All Moroaicǎ were re-animated by Mold and returned as walking husks with the taste for blood. Not too dissimilar to Zombies, albeit with slightly more intelligence and they had the wherewithal to use weapons such as swords. It seems that they enter a hibernation state without any stimulus, even remaining underwater for an extended period of time does not affect them. Whilst their skin is far less necrotic than other similar creatures, they are still essentially walking corpses and so are relatively weak and will continue to degrade over time.
After
Ethan Winters passed through the dungeon, the Moroaicǎ were roused and began to attempt to feed on him. After his scent became known, they began to breach the lower areas of the castle and were found walking the grounds of the castle, and eventually make it out of the castle and appear throughout the village area. There were occasions where both Ethan and Alcina were in the same room as them and if any Moroaicǎ got in her way, she would not hesitate to shove them out of the way or kill them, showing the sheer disregard she has for them despite them being her creations. It's likely that she had hoped that they would have been more like her three daughters and as such was repulsed by their existence.
Interestingly, Moroaicǎ with certain characteristics appear to be able to mutate further into a flying beast named a Samcă. Almost all Samcă appear to be much older then the younger looking Moroaicǎ, so it may take a long time for them to mutate this way.
