A sanguivorologist is a specialist who studies sanguivorous organisms, which are those that feed on blood. This field often encompasses the study of various creatures such as vampires, leeches, and certain parasites like ticks and mosquitoes that have evolved to consume blood as a primary food source. The term may also invoke a fascination with the folklore and mythology surrounding blood-drinking entities, particularly in literature and popular culture.
