I am ashamed you didn't make a Bloodborne reference

That actually brings me rather excellently to what Grandfather Thirst IS. Imagine a bat. Then make it....more. Wings that make gales with each movement, eyes glowing with balefire, a great, shadowed maw....then the hunger. Give this beast of your mind's eye a hunger, a thirst, so great, so palpable, it twists the world around it. Men? It makes into vampires. Without even attempting too. Other bats? Become great, giant fliers, or groundbound beasts? Wolves? You know what it does with wolves.

And then realize the beast described above is simply as close as the human mind can come to perceiving the thing, it isn't the...truth of the thing. It is something primal. Something old. Old and [i]strong strong strong[/i]. 

Where did it come from?

....

A good question.

"Before there was time. Before there was anything... there was nothing. And before there was nothing... [i]there were monsters[/i]."

Basically, this song sums Grandfather Thirst up:

And that's how vampires are made kiddies~

(this is pure lore, I'm not bringing Grandfather into the game proper as a unit)
