Changes

At some point, this Alpha is captured and taken to [[Crowley]]'s monster prison. During its interrogation, it takes the form of Crowley's [[meatsuit]].<ref name="six10">[[6.10 Caged Heat]]</ref> Crowley explains that he tinkered with various substances on several lesser shapeshifters to find something that can actually hurt the Alpha: iridium. He stabs the Alpha's shoulder with an iridium knife and threatens to skin its children in front of it. The Alpha continues to insist that it does not know the location of [[Purgatory]], and seems unconcerned with the fate of its children. Saying that the shapeshifters can make more children, he encourages Crowley to kill them. Frustrated, [[Crowley]] beheads the Alpha with an iridium machete, killing it.

===[[Alpha Vampire]]===

The [[Alpha Vampire]] is first glimpsed in [[6.05 Live Free or Twihard]], briefly flashing in the minds of its "children" as it commands them to turn more humans, recruit more [[vampire]]s for its army. Nothing was known about this particular [[monster]], aside from the fact its "messages" can be heard telepathically by all vampires and render them unconscious.
