Not to bring an old topic back to life (huehuehue), but the term "vampire" and the mythology of human bloodsuckers does exist in lore, even if actual Spoken vampires may not. So using a term like "aether-vampire" could actually be used ICly if you desired, as scholars of aetherology interchange "life," "lifeblood," and "aether" quite frequently it wouldn't be much of a stretch, though these are more than likely going to fall under a voidsent classification by most naturalists and smallfolk, as by definition, denizens of the void are aether-starved, humour suckers.
