At a Glance

An evil extraplanar outsider.

This monster —specifically its method of reproduction— is featured on Stupid Monsters, which is a fun read.

Size

The head is described as 18 inches tall, with a wingspan of 4 feet. This head size is proportional for a 12-foot tall human. So —contrary to the MM description— a vargouille is quite a bit larger than a human head. It’s about the size of a fire giant head.

Weight

A 12-foot tall human male would weight about 700 lbs. The human head typically accounts for about 8% of the overall body weight, so the vargouille’s base weight is 56 lbs. I add 25% (14 lbs) to account for the wings and tentacles. Finally, I increase the weight by 10% because it’s described as having leathery skin (which would be much thicker than normal skin) and it’s a lower-planar creature. This suggests a total weight of 78 lbs. The MM description says 10 lbs, but that’s just not logical… human heads, at less than 9 inches tall, often weigh more than 10 lbs.

Art Review

Obviously, Google presents a lot of alternative to the official portrayals; take your pick. Among the better ones, I think… elegant succubus, badass red succubus, video game succubus, and a sort of steampunk cartoony succubus. In the last case, I like the treatment of the tail in combination with some clothing… normal pants would not fit right, but leggings work.
