Description
Originating in Phlegmereth, Vermyn are small, curious fiends that spread disease with their presence. They are scavengers, and generally do not attack unless provoked, but their presence in a town's well or food supplies can be massively destructive. They feed on refuse and rotting meat, and often wrap themselves in the skins of dead rats, fish or other common beasts to beldn in with the local wildlife.
