Many would consider the vit'nox purely monstrous and indeed, they are wretched and pained creatures that oftentimes lash out at the world from pain and madness. However as with any other sentient being they may be found to be good or evil with no baring on others of their kind. I have experienced this firsthand as i have met a few Vit'nox on my extensive travels. When a Vit'nox comes into existence or rather, when a creature is transformed into one there is honestly no way of telling how they will behave. For the process of becoming a vit'nox is so painful that even the most mild mannered soul can come out embittered an harsh. Fusing a nobleman's daughter with a pig is far easier to do when compared to trying to build even a few effective and controllable war machines. As far as I know there is no reliable way to control a vit'nox, even using methods such as magical domination are rather risky due to how the psyche of an individual is affected by the process of their 'recreation'.

Basic Information

Anatomy

As a being created from depraved minds the form of Vit'nox vary but there are three defining features of a vit'nox that can help you identify one:                                (1) 
(1)they are are sentient
(2) They are composed of two or more creatures 
(3) they were created with a series of complex dark rituals ( being transformed by a god or other powerful being does not make a Vit'nox even if they fit the other requirements)
The shape of a vit'nox relies somewhat, on the individual being transformed,the time they spend in ritual, and even the slightest difference in how the Vit'nox was created will affect the outcome of the ritual. For example I recall a case where a pair of identical twins were abducted and transformed into Vit'nox the perpetrator was annoyingly precise with everything he did and so each underwent the ritual with exactly the same components at the same measurement within an hour of one another but one ended up with working set of venomous fangs while the other's teeth were barely affected by the time they were rescued. The common facet of vit'nox is their gruesome elegance, unlike a flesh construct or an Artificial Undead that do not hold their shape and always end up malformed to an extent, the channeled forces that help power the transformative ritual that creates vit'nox does not allow the victim to be malformed in any way aside from an otherworldly macabre sort of beauty that plays of a desire to twist life in an almost jesting manner.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Depending on who created a group of vit'nox there senses may vary and depend on animals that were used in the process of their creation.
