{{Why You!}}
'''Zeugls''' inhabit sewers predominantly, feeding on sewage, and grows at an alarming rate. The beast is always hungry, so it reaches out with its tentacles for living creatures and tries to shove them into its huge maw filled with multiple rows of teeth. The zeugl is paralyzingly hideous, foul-smelling, and surprisingly strong for something resembling a rotten potato, so it usually manages to devour its opponent.<ref name="sod">{{SoD}}</ref><ref>{{WGW}}</ref>
 
  +
Fat people are a weight on society. The reason they are fat is because they are lazy and weak in both body and mind. I don't understand how you can be so disgusting and just be ok with it. Do they not care that they are inconvenient to others and they are going to die early?
   
  +
And I HATE that people now consider it a disease and that they can get handi cap parking passes. Being fat isn't a disease, they people themselves are the disease on society. I understand that some have a genetic disorder but lets face it, 1 that is maybe 1% of fat people. And even if they do have a genetic disorder, if they tried hard enough and weren't mentally weak they could push through.
[[Geralt of Rivia|Geralt]] was hired to rid the sewers of a zeugl during his and [[Yennefer]]'s stay in [[Aedd Gynvael]].<ref name="sod" /> There is also a breed of zeugl mutated by [[Rissberg]] [[mage]]s called [[parazeugl]], which in turn is not at all dangerous and cleans the sewers.<ref>{{SoS}}</ref>

In the game, the zeugl is one of the boss monsters. Geralt must face this ugly beast in the [[Vizima sewers]] during the Epilogue, and this time, the tentacles seem to have a mind of their own! Luckily our hero is not forced to face the beast alone.
 
 
=== {{Bestiary}} ===
 
''"The zeugl is the best example of a monster that has grown accustomed to human settlements. The beast feeds on the waste and filth produced by the city, so it need not hunt or fight to survive. It simply grows and gradually becomes a danger to people. This shows how detrimental continued degradation of the natural environment can be in the long run. Therefore, I implore the reader: respect nature."''

=== Notes ===
 
* According to Geralt just before they enter the sewers, zeugls are hermaphrodites that do not need a mate to procreate. In a hilarious conversation with Siegfried, he intimates that ''"zeugls do not need a Mrs. Zeugl to make little zeugls. They do it with themselves."'' To which Siegfried responds ''"That's sick! ... unnatural even for beasts!"'' This exchange is a paraphrasing of an conversation between [[Herbolth]] and [[Geralt of Rivia|Geralt]] in {{SoD}}.
 
* Geralt can still extract [[zeugl venom]] after the fight in the sewers even if he has no bestiary entry for Zeugl ''(in case you forgot to buy one of the two source books earlier.)''
 
 
== [[Monsterbook]] ==
 
''Developer [[CD Projekt]]'s characterization of the Zeugl taken from the monsterbook, which was included with the Polish, Hungarian and Czech Collector's Edition of {{Tw1}} computer game:''
 
 
This huge monster inhabiting the sewers beneath Vizima looks like a medieval environmentalist's nightmare. It feeds on the garbage and carrion that slowly drift with the flow. The zeugl can grow to be enormous in size, and being a hermaphrodite, it reproduces easily. A fully grown specimen is a serious threat to humans and very difficult to kill.
 
 
Only the top part of its body and tentacles ever surface above the sewage - and these are the most important elements of its design. The black on red sketches present the creature in all its glory. Sapkowski described it as a "hideous bulge" - and such is our zeugl. The concept artist provided it with a fish-like head and a few rows of sharp teeth suitable for grinding whatever reaches the monster's jaws. If the victim is not quite dead, the zeugl's tentacles feature spikes that allow the creature to pull its prey into its mouth.{{Block Quote|text = The debris exploded in an geyser of thick, stinking grease, clay pot fragments, rotting rags and pale shreds of pickled cabbage. From beneath it burst a huge bulbous body, resembling a rotten potato. It slapped the air with three tentacles and the stub of a fourth. (...) The body glided toward him, plowing through the debris like a barrel being rolled to market. He saw the tuber crack as it opened its wide maw full of large, razor-sharp teeth. He let the tentacles wind themselves around his waist, lift him from the stinking grease with a thwack, and drag him towards itself spiralling ever deeper into the debris (...) The tooth-lined jaws snapping wildly and angrily.|citation = {{SoD}}}}The sketch above focuses on the zeugl's cephalothorax - the monster's head resembles that of a fish, while the folds on its back bear a likeness to mushroom caps.
 
 
== Notes ==
 
* In {{Tw3}}, when Keira slightly recreates her favorite fairy tale, Cinderella, Geralt explains how it was based on a true story where Princess Cendrilla was eaten whole by a zeugl that hid in the palace pond, leaving behind one shoe.
 
* In {{Tw3}}, [[Vesemir]] recalls the time when Geralt fought a zeugl in [[Tretogor]].
 
* In {{Tw3}}, during the ball in the Vegelbuds' estate, if the player chooses to play [[Gwent]] with the nobles, his last opponent is said to have a zeugl bone amulet that brings him good luck on the table.

Template:Why You! Fat people are a weight on society. The reason they are fat is because they are lazy and weak in both body and mind. I don't understand how you can be so disgusting and just be ok with it. Do they not care that they are inconvenient to others and they are going to die early?

And I HATE that people now consider it a disease and that they can get handi cap parking passes. Being fat isn't a disease, they people themselves are the disease on society. I understand that some have a genetic disorder but lets face it, 1 that is maybe 1% of fat people. And even if they do have a genetic disorder, if they tried hard enough and weren't mentally weak they could push through.

So suck it up you fucking fat fucks, and either get your stupid lazy asses in shape or just fucking go away!
