Vile

Vile is an unique enemy encountered in Fear and Hunger: Termina.

Lore
Vile is a villager within the Old Town portion of Prehevil. Wearing a gasmask fashioned to mimic the head of a pig, he carries around a pesticide canister constantly leaking chemicals with which he is seen using to spray fish and also attack bystanders. Vile possibly used to be a fishmonger or an exterminator of pests before the moonlight burnt him.

If one happens to kill Vile and saw off his head, they will notice the mask has been fused to his face. Despite this fusion to his skin, he can partially lift the mask to speak if necessary. Underneath the exposed portion, Vile's row of sharp teeth can be seen and his spoken words become comprehensible whilst the mask is lifted.

Location
He can be seen in the first part of the Old Town tending to fishes, spraying them down with pesticide. If not killed there he'll appear on the east part of town. For that to happen you must have visited the mayor. He'll still be hostile.

Dialogue Death
Vile can be killed with Talk by selecting the dialogue option "What was that?" three times in a row. Unlike others, choosing this line will not end the players turn upon being selected and instead bring up the talk options once more, possibly to hint for the player to persist in repeating the selection.

After the third repetition, the normal response of "*breathe* *breathe*" will add a final "*BREATHE*" to the line and the game will then state Vile's frustration at your character's lack of understanding. Vile will then proceed to lift his mask partially, exposing his melted skin and grimacing at the player. A coin flip will then occur. Calling the coin correctly will have Vile shout at the player "ONLY- THE VILE-" before accidentally deeply inhaling the pesticides which constantly leak from his canister. Vile will begin to cough blood before expiring, ending the combat immediately.

Combat
Vile wields a poisonous spray and clubs the party with his gas canister. Daan's diagnosis skill claims he is weak to Piercing and otherworldly attacks.

Trivia

 * His walking speed is much higher than the other villagers from Prehevil.
 * His gas attack counts as a magic attack.
 * He bears a similar resemblance to Chaugnar, perhaps wearing a gasmask while the moon burn occurred caused the animal like mutation.
 * His job before being moon burned likely was pest control. Despite this all the vermin are alive and well.
 * Vile is one of the few enemies in the Fear & Hunger series whose combat encounter can be won through using the Talk skill.
 * Using Steal may provide 2 White vials.
