Lord Dakhanavar, also known as the Hanging Vampire, or Hanging Lord Dakhanavar Vampire, was an animatronic sold online by Spirit Halloween following the conclusion of the 2020 and start of the 2022 Halloween seasons. It resembles a male vampire with pale skin hanging upside down wrapped in his wings with his arms crossed over his chest. When activated, his head lifted and mouth moved as his eyes lit-up red while he spoke multiple phrases.
Spirit Halloween’s Description[]
"Lord Dakhanavar bides time waiting for the resurgence of his family's power and to once again reign over The Land Beyond the Forrest. As he patiently waits to regain his seat of power, he takes solace with the few travelers that visit his humble manor to assist him with the family business. Their long journey leaves them feeling drained and dead tired, and they often find themselves staying with their host overnight... or if he's lucky... forever.

Trivia[]
- In Armenian folklore, there's a vampire named Dakhanavar who protects his land from intruders. He sucks their blood by their feet, similar to a Vampire bat.
- Lord Dakhanavar's ANIM number is ANIM 228.
- While people had originally believed Lord Dakhanavar was to be re-released in stores for the 2021 Halloween season, it was said by corporate employees that he was a 2020 only animatronic.
- However, he was restocked for the 2022 Halloween season.
- The original background website image for Lord Dakhanavar was the same graphic found covering most Spirit Halloween product boxes since 2019.
- Lord Dakhanavar was originally intended to be released in 2014, and then in 2015 to 2019 as an in-store item, but was canceled both times for unknown reasons. This was revealed by a wiki admin.
- He was temporarily named Lord Dhampir, before being changed to Lord Dakhanavar just a couple days later.
- The release of Lord Dakhanavar was considered unusual, as the demo video and stock images were not revealed until after the Halloween 2020 season had finished.
- However, animatronics like Lil Nester (2021), Bloody Bag of Jokes (2021), and Toothy the Clown would follow suit, the first two being released at the end of the 2021 Halloween season and the lattermost being released after the 2022 Halloween season.
- Lord Dakhanavar did not include any instructions.
- On the official Amazon listing, Lord Dakhanavar continued to use the old images, and was called "Hanging Vampire Bat."
- A magnet of Lord Dakhanavar was included in the 2023 PR packages.
