Vires are bizzare cave-dewlling creatures. They are dark blue, and rather roundish, like pigs. They have two strong hind legs, and two vestigal forearms with sharp claws. They have four red eyes, a wide, shark-like mouth, and what appear to be wings.
If one is struck for less than 4 points of damamge, it will collapse, but its two wings will emerge from its body as two blood-soaked keese. Keese are actually young Vires, harbored by their parents in this bizzare way until they are large enough to fend for themselves.
Vires walk slowly, but can jump at a Speed of 5, in short hops, and thus attack creatures at an Attack of 12.
