Shriek (Su)
Instead of biting, a vargouille can open itsdistended mouth and let out a terrible shriek.Those within 60 feet (except other vargouilles) whohear the shriek and can clearly see the creaturemust succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or beparalyzed with fear for 2d4 rounds or until themonster attacks them, goes out of range, or leavestheir sight. A paralyzed creature is susceptible tothe vargouille’s kiss (see below). A creature thatsuccessfully saves cannot be affected again by thesame vargouille’s shriek for 24 hours. The shriek isa mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC isConstitution-based and includes a +1 racial bonus.
Kiss (Su)
A vargouille can kiss a paralyzed target witha successful melee touch attack. An affectedopponent must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude saveor begin a terrible transformation that turns thecreature into a vargouille within 24 hours (andoften much sooner; roll 1d6 separately for eachphase of the transformation). First, over a periodof 1d6 hours, all the victim’s hair falls out. Withinanother 1d6 hours thereafter, the ears grow intoleathery wings, tentacles sprout on the chin andscalp, and the teeth become long, pointed fangs.During the next 1d6 hours, the victim takesIntelligence drain and Charisma drain equal to 1point per hour (to a minimum of 3). Thetransformation is complete 1d6 hours later, whenthe head breaks free of the body (which promptlydies) and becomes a vargouille.This transformation is interrupted by sunlight,and even a
daylight 
spell can delay death, but toreverse the transformation requires
remove disease 
. The save DC is Constitution-based andincludes a +4 racial bonus.
Poison (Ex)
Injury, Fortitude DC 12 or be unable toheal the vargouille’s bite damage naturally ormagically. A
neutralize poison 
or

spell removesthe effect, while
delay poison 
allows magicalhealing. The save DC is Constitution-based andincludes a +1 racial bonus.
