This creature looks like a hideous, distorted
human head suspended from leathery wings.
In place of hair, it is crowned with
writhing tendrils, and its eyes burn with
a menacing green flame.
These revolting creatures come
into the world from the deepest
pits of the plane of Carceri. They
haunt graveyards, ruins, and other
places of death and decay.
A vargouille is slightly larger than a
human head, about 18 inches high, with
a wingspan of 4 feet. It weighs about 10
pounds.
Vargouilles speak Infernal.
COMBAT
Vargouilles attack by
biting with their jagged teeth.
Their special attacks make
them even more dangerous.
A vargouille’s natural weapons,
as well as any weapons it wields,
are treated as evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage
reduction.
Shriek (Su): Instead of biting, a vargouille can open its distended
mouth and let out a terrible shriek. Those within 60 feet
(except other vargouilles) who hear the shriek and can clearly see
the creature must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralyzed
with fear for 2d4 rounds or until the monster attacks them,
goes out of range, or leaves their sight. A paralyzed creature is susceptible
to the vargouille’s kiss (see below). A creature that successfully
saves cannot be affected again by the same vargouille’s
shriek for 24 hours. The shriek is a mind-affecting fear effect. The
save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +1 racial bonus.
Kiss (Su): A vargouille can kiss a paralyzed target with a successful
melee touch attack. An affected opponent must succeed on
a DC 15 Fortitude save or begin a terrible transformation that
turns the creature into a vargouille within 24 hours (and often
much sooner; roll 1d6 separately for each phase of the transformation).
First, over a period of 1d6 hours, all the victim’s hair falls out.
Within another 1d6 hours thereafter, the ears grow into leathery
wings, tentacles sprout on the chin and scalp, and the teeth
become long, pointed fangs. During the next 1d6 hours, the
victim takes Intelligence drain and Charisma drain equal to 1
point per hour (to a minimum of 3). The transformation is complete
1d6 hours later, when the head breaks free of the body
(which promptly dies) and becomes a vargouille.
This transformation is interrupted by sunlight, and even a daylight
spell can delay death, but to reverse the transformation requires
remove disease. The save DC is Constitution-based and
includes a +4 racial bonus.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 12 or be unable to
heal the vargouille’s bite damage naturally or magically.
A neutralize poison or heal spell removes the
effect, while delay poison allows magical healing.
The save DC is Constitution-based and
includes a +1 racial bonus.
