DR:

1* (tough skin)

    Sharp Claws (14): thrust 1d-1 cutting (KYOS: 1d cutting), Reach C.
    Energy Drain: While maintaining ongoing contact (grappling, for example), the vilewight can drain 3 HP per second from the victim, while healing 1 HP per each stolen HP.
    Create Spawn: Creatures killed by a vilewight rise after 1d minutes as normal wights under the vilewight’s control. They do not possess any of the abilities they had in life.
    Vile Intestine grapple (26): The vile wight has a set of eight intestines that erupt from its torso. These intestines have ST equal to 1/4 of body ST (ST 3 in the typical case). Effective skill 28 includes a +14 bonus for using 8 tentacles at once to grapple. Reach C.
    Vile Intestine strike (14): The vile wight has a set of eight intestines that erupt from its torso. These intestines have ST equal to 1/4 of body ST (ST 3 in the typical case). Each one can strike, dealing thrust 1d-5 crushing (KYOS: 1d-9 crushing) damage, Reach C.
    Life Blindness: Each creature that took damage from the vile intestines (or from energy drain while being grappled by the instestines) must roll against HT-3 or contract a magical disease called life blindness. The disease deals 1d-1 toxic damage, has an onset of 1 day, and ten 1-day cycles. Each instance can be resisted with HT-3. Gradually, the infected victim loses all ability to perceive living creatures, even plants. After losing 1/3 HP the victim treats such beings as invisible, silent, and odorless. The loneliness and alienation eventually drive the victim to be completely antisocial. After losing ½ HP, the victim gains Chronic Depression (9). In addition, each cycle the victim must make a Fright Check on the Despair variant table from Pyramid #3-92, page 29, unless they successfully resisted that cycle. This disease is not contagious.
    Dark Channel (14): A vilewight can focus negative energy and fire it as a line dealing 2d toxic damage. Takes 5 seconds to recharge. Range 1/10, 1-yard wide line.
