Qi Feeding:
Although Hopping Vampires don’t utilize a Hungry track, they do feed on Qi like any other Jade Court Vampire. Once they have fed on a living being, they gain +2 to track that victim or, if the victim has been killed, +1 to track members of that victim’s family. Hopping Vampires are especially feared for their tendency to wipe out entire family lines.
