Esme cullen

While most of the series' success came from the romance between human Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, many fans also became invested in the vampire lore of the series. In the first Twilight book and film, the Cullens are introduced, a family of vegetarian vampires who welcome Bella with open arms. However, as the series progresses, more families of vampires are introduced.

These families, or rather, Covens, played a crucial role in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn , when the Cullens begin recruiting vampire allies to stand as witnesses for Bella and Edward's human-vampire hybrid child, Renesmee. Overall, there are eight major vampire covens introduced in the Twilight Saga. Updated on January 25, , by Robbie Robinson: Twilight manages to remain iconic and relevant even years after it was a huge hit on the big screen.

It's starting to seem like Twilight will never truly fade, as there's even an animated series on the way. One of the integral aspects of the series is the concept of covens. There wouldn't be Twilight without the covens. As such, this list has been updated to include more information about covens in Twilight and to get this list up to date with CBR''s current formatting standards.

With the Cullens and Volturi, plus the introduction of the "family" members in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn , many viewers might be inclined to think that covens are pretty common.
