I think an allfather, wyrm or carrion dragon would have a decent risk of getting a few afflictions or deaths during these tests.
Also, add to #1 and #2 that the vampire is ridiculously easy to give invulnerability to all elements. Big bonus in the late game.

And one note: Carrion dragon doesn't get afflictions easily. More importantly, it doesn't care very much if it does - a temporary inconvenience, but even with, say, feebleminding, it can switch forms and sneak about until the hangover goes away.

Great set of tests though.
