Vile Child

Vile Children are Demons.

These nasty ankle biters are spawned from Vile Mothers, and appear only when so spawned. You will never see boss or champion Vile Children, even when spawned by boss or champion Vile Mothers. It's best to ignore the Vile Children to kill the Mothers, unless there are so many Children out that they're severly hampering your progress.

Vile Children are small, but they do considerable damage, and with their fast speed, rapid attack, high blocking, and physical damage, they can be quite dangerous in large packs.

There are no champion or boss Vile Children, even when spawned by Champion or Boss vile mothers. The only way to upgrade a vile child is with a Monster Shrine.

• All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Statistics

• The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
  • TC Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher group.
  • The max TC/Rune possible may depend on which level a monster spawns in, and can be lower than the maximum. See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Defenses

• Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
• Blocking values are assigned to every monster in the game, but the ability is seldom enabled, so most monsters can not block (Hence the blocking % given on most Diablo II monster pages, including Blizzard's, is inaccurate.) When enabled, blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
• Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
• Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Stygian Dog	136 / 546 / 1143	--	1.2/sec	100 / 75 / 50	50 / 40 / 33
Grotesque Wyrm	151 / 546 / 1155	--	1.2/sec	100 / 75 / 50	50 / 40 / 33

Resistances

• Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
• Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
