Viglili appear to be medium-sized monkeys with prehensile tales. Well, that is what their bodies look like anyway. Their round bulbous faces are white colored, leathery, and aside from some slight wrinkles, they are completely devoid of features. It isn’t really noticable in daylight, but this face always has a faint glow to it, When desired a Viglili can light up this face like a great torch.

Although very intelligent, Viglili generally behave much as other monkeys. In rare cases, a Viglili may take an interest in other sentient creatures. If one of these creatures takes a fancy to someone, she can be quite helpful. No Viglili can resist the allure of bright and shiny objects, however, and these creatures are constantly stealing items for no practical reason. Viglili usually stow their prizes in one or more secret locations. When travelling a Viglili may try to stow something away in hopes of returning, or she may try stashing it in the gear of a fellow party member. This has been known to cause problems.
