Old-school rules say it's all the evil animals... Snake, bat, wolf/dog and mist for some reason.
They can also control those same animals, as when Dracula stops the wolves/dogs from attacking the coach in the beginning of the story Dracula by Bram Stoker.
In the real world no animal can shape shift.
no known animal can shape shift
it turn into a bat
Vampires are the stuff of movies and folk legend. It depends on which version of the stories you are reading. In most stories, vampires do not shape shift, but in some, they can turn into bats (or less commonly, rats).

They can shape shift into any animal but the ones the manly shape shift into are bats so they can blind in at night but when you are a sleep and know one is awake they turn to there regular forms but vampires can fly with out having to be a bat.
You cant shape shift in clubpenguin.
No vampires have wings. Count Dracula had the ability to shape shift and used the ability to transform into a bat, once or twice. But no other (serious) vampire ever did such a thing.
Shape shifting is not an inherent ability with being a vampire. Count Dracula, in addition to being a vampire, was also a high level Sorcerer, a graduate of the academy of Scholomance in the Carpathian Mountains. It was this that gave him shape-shifting powers not the fact that he was a vampire. Real vampires are actually quite pathetic creatures often malformed and crippled.
Pink Dolphins can't shape shift.
Count Dracula could shape-shift by magical mean. On one occasion he became a monstrous dog. So a vampire who is also a highly skilled sorcerer could manage the 'transformation' but it would only be the appearance of a werewolf, not the actual beast.
(folklore) A European vampire is more of a cunning and covert kind of hunter, while an American vampire is more a smash hit and run kind. A European vampire has none of the strength, speed and reflexes of an American vampire, but an American vampire has less magical abilities than a European vampire. For example, the European vampire can fly, use telekinesis, heal quickly and have telepathic abilities including hypnosis and can shape-shift into any animal or fog they want. An American vampire is strong, fast and has great senses, but has lesser psi abilities and can only shape-shift into nocturnal animals and mist. In weakness terms, a European vampire is nocturnal but can easily survive in sunlight, can cross running water and can enter a house without an invite, but suffers from garlic, holy symbols, stakes, fire, decapitation and an obsession with counting. American vampires are burnt to death in sunlight, cannot enter without an invite, can cross running water, but is fatal to fire, silver, garlic, holy symbols and decapitation. Hope this answers your question. -Josef Jaszek
