Eternal Companions with a Battery Swap — AI Pet Robots Become the New Vampire Companion Culture

For vampires, the greatest fear is not death—it is being left behind. Pets with short lifespans guarantee grief. For that reason, turtles capable of living nearly 200 years were historically the most popular companions.

But a shift is underway. Instead of cats or dogs, vampires are adopting AI-based robotic pets in growing numbers. Early doubts faded once new models appeared with lifelike warmth, fur-like texture, and emotional AI that responds to its owner.

The key advantage is longevity. A robot can stay by an immortal's side for centuries with only battery replacements and software updates.

C, raising an AI dog named Bolt for five years, recalls: “I grieved for decades every time a real pet died. Bolt waits in low-power mode while I sleep and plays all night without tiring. Knowing he won’t die before me—that comforts me.”

Through technology, immortals have found a new form of companionship—cold metal outside, warm presence within.
