"This symbol, these two planks of wood. It confounds me. Suffuses me with mortal dread."

―The Master^[src]

A Crucifix was a cross-shaped artifact belonging to the Christian religion.

Crucifixes were one of a Vampire's several weaknesses and possessed two non-fatal effects to them. The very sight of a crucifix was capable of fending off a vampire and the second could cause a vampire plainful burns through contact. Even though crucifixes were ineffective to the Turok-han, they also worked on Ethros demons.

Despite the fact that the term 'crucifix' refers to a cross with the image of Jesus Christ, any plain cross of any material was was still capable of harming vampires without the original purpose as an object of worship.
