* AmbiguouslyEvil: Although Kylre was responsible for the death of four people in Trostenwald, it isn't made clear if he truly was a evil monster like the party (sans Molly) believe he was. Once [[WordOfGod Matt]] gave more details about how Nergaliid's work, it paints Kylre as being less an evil monster, and more of a tragic creature that made a mistake outside of its control. His "slow feeding" was likely how he kept himself under control since nobody would notice, but the elderly man appearing in the carnival when he did so meant he killed him by accident. In the end it isn't quite clear if it was intentional or not, but it isn't hard to feel sorry for him.

* LifeDrain: Feeds off the lifeforce of other beings to sustain itself. A Nergaliid has two forms of feeding, "slow feeding", which does not result in death and usually unnoticed by the victim, and "quick feeding", which is nearly always lethal and turns those killed into zombified husks.
* NotHyperbole: His "Devil Toad" stage name turned out to be a lot more literal than anyone expected...
* TheQuietOne: Doesn't talk often, usually limiting himself to a few words at a time in Infernal.
* StarterVillain: The first antagonist of the Wildemount campaign.
* WalkingSpoiler: Figuring out who or what was responsible for the zombie outbreaks in Trostenwald was a big part of the story arc, so mentioning Kylre, and what he really is, gives away the arc's main twist.
* ZombieApocalypse: Those killed by his "quick feeding" become zombie-like husks, and those killed by husks become more husks. The Mighty Nein thankfully slew the fiend before this got out of hand.

!Gnolls
A band of Gnolls plaguing Alfield

[[folder: The Packlord]]
!!Packlord
-->'''Race:''' Gnoll

The leader of the raiding pack of Gnolls attacking Alfield.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a giant glaive.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Despite seemingly being the leader of the Gnolls, he's not the final boss of the Gnoll mines, the ''real'' final fight being against the Gnoll priest and the Manticore.]]
* HeinousHyena: As is typical of Gnolls, though this one is ruthless even by their standards. He even keeps regular hyenas as Mooks.
* IAmAHumanitarian: Like all Gnolls.
* KingMook: A much stronger version of a [[RunningGag regular Gnoll]].
* SpikesOfVillainy: His armor is covered in bony spines. [[spoiler: Which we later find out were taken from a Manticore.]]
* VillainExitStageLeft: Successfully flees the city during the battle in Episode 5, notably being one of the few Critical Role antagonists to actually manage this, though the party was only Level 3 at the time. [[spoiler: He's not so lucky the second time.]]

[[folder: The Gnoll Priest]]
!!Gnoll Priest
-->'''Race:''' Human

A humanoid wearing a suit of Gnoll skin, the priest acts as the brains of the Gnoll operation and [[spoiler: caretaker of the Manticore]].

* ArcVillain: Is the main force behind the Alfield Gnoll arc.
* BeatStillMyHeart: He feeds the hearts of some of the unfortunate human captors to the Gnolls [[spoiler: or the Manticore]].
* GenuineHumanHide: Is described as wearing a patchwork suit made from the skin of many creatures, mostly Gnolls.

* ReligionOfEvil: The Gnolls, or at least his group, worship Yeenoghu, the ever-hungry demonic lord who some say created them. Yeenoghu is a vicious beast that devours everything in its wake, leaving waves of hyenas to feast on the scraps left behind.
