Vile

The Vile demons, known as Wicked Gods in Japan, are the major deities who are associated with disease, famine and other disasters brought upon mankind. They embody heterodoxy and are often vanquished or fallen gods that have become vilified by rival religions. They are a brutish race, focusing mainly on physical attacks, and are tied with the Tyrant for the most powerful dark race and easily on par with any demons of light. They are always Dark-Law, except for in Shin Megami Tensei V, where they are both Dark-Law and Dark-Chaos, and belong to the Guardians species.

Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku
"Once supreme gods, they now subject men to great terror.  They rule through fear, which sways people’s minds most quickly.  Their worshippers brutally kill their enemies and sacrifice their blood to them.  They do not cooperate, but rather fight and compete with each other for hegemony."

Devil Survivor
The Vile race has the Chaos Wave Racial Skill, which allows the team to engage an enemy from up to 3 squares away. In exchange, the team's movement range is reduced by 1, has to wait twice as long between turns, and none of the team members can gain Extra Turns in combat. * Available only in Overclocked.

Devil Survivor 2
The Vile race has the Chaos Wave Racial Skill, which allows the team to engage an enemy or heal an ally from up to 3 squares away. In exchange, the team's movement range is reduced by 1, has to wait twice as long between turns, and none of the team members can gain Extra Turns in combat. Stronger Viles have this skill changed to Chaos Breath, which increases the attack/heal range to 4 instead. * Only available in Record Breaker.
