Vile and despicable creatures, the Vilg have appalling appetites and worse table manners, often indulging in the consumption of such offal as would make a ghoul reconsider its own hunger.

Vilg are sometimes summoned as familiars by ghouls, goblins, or other unsavory humanoids who are able to stand both the stench of these wretched, warty things, and their gross appetites as well. These toad-things prefer to dine upon the most corrupt and decayed formerly-living matter they can acquire. They are sometimes used by more fastidious ghouls as a kind of disposal for those unspeakable remnants of charnel repasts that they wish to eliminate from their dens.

The poison that a Vilg inflicts upon its victims is a terrible necrotizing corruption that forces a save or else it will cause the victim's flesh to literally putrify until it is either healed, cut off or burned--or the Vilg is killed. Ghouls are immune to this effect, and it only works while the Vilg is still alive; killing the Vilg will cause the poison effect to fade over 1d6 turns.

There are dark rumors of larger, smarter Vilg-breeds out amidst the deeper catacombs of dead worlds known only to certain ghoul factions.
