Going by that, there's no such thing as Undead, as you don't have to die to be a zombie, or a ghoul, or a wight, or a lich, or even a skeleton. Because literally EVERY mamono can potentially give birth to children.

Except that's not how the classification works, really. It's looking at their roots. And the "root" of the vampire is that they were originally corpses reanimated by evil, blood drinking spirits.
