The Viy of Maribor was a horrible creature conjured by the mage Alzur.

It was a giant centipede, but larger than any other of its kind. It killed Alzur and destroyed half of the contemporary city of Maribor.

After the destruction at Maribor, this creature fled towards Riverdell.[1] After its slumber in the forests was disturbed by envoys of the Council, the Viy disposed of them and disappeared without a trace. Reportedly, the mutated centipede ventured south, where it took up residence in the infamous monster lair Dol Dhu Lokke.[2]

Gwent: The Witcher Card Game[]

Viy is a legendary card in The Way of the Witcher expansion.

Reward Tree entry[]

Scroll 1: The viy was a monster born due to a combination of magic and bad luck. It was created in Maribor by Alzur himself with his infamous Double-Cross. But the spell was not a success. A creature with a serpentine body and a million legs sprang up over the city, then went berserk and began to destroy everything in sight.
Scroll 2: By the time the viy left Maribor, it had turned about half of the buildings there into ruin. Soon after, the monster—bloated with human flesh—hid in the forests of Riverdell and fell into a deep slumber. It is possible that it would never have woken up if it were not for the actions of the Council of Mages.
Scroll 3: Sorcerers wanted to study the last known creation of Alzur. Nonetheless, the sight of the monster left them speechless with terror. Mages were aware of the destruction it caused in Maribor, yet they had not expected a creature of such enormous size. Neither did they dream of waking it up. The spells they used were intended to bind the viy. Once again, however, the viy proved to be quite resistant to magic.
Scroll 4: After the last envoy of the Council had said goodbye to his life, the viy allegedly disappeared without a trace. But some say they saw a huge shadow crawl out of the forests of the Left Bank and head south.
Towards Dol Dhu Lokke, to be precise.
