    • The vargouille shrieks, its scream so terrible that all non-vargouilles within 60 feet must succeed at a 16 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 3 rounds. The effect ends early for a creature if the vargouille moves out of sight, moves farther than 60 feet from the creature, or attacks the creature with its fangs. After attempting its save, a creature is immune to that particular vargouille's Shriek for 24 hours.
