They don't, and at first my thought was to just call it an Infectious Attack, although it really isn't a disadvantage for them ("Oh no I created another me how absolutely dreadful!"), plus it's something they use voluntarily, unlike, for example, lycanthropy. It's basically the Vargouille's method of reproduction.

Here's the d20 version of the ability, from the Pathfinder SRD:

First, over a period of 1d6 hours, all the victim's hair falls out. Within another 1d6 hours thereafter, the ears grow into leathery wings, tentacles sprout on the chin and scalp, and the teeth become long, pointed fangs. During the next 1d6 hours, the victim takes Intelligence drain and Charisma drain equal to 1 point per hour (to a minimum of 3). The transformation is complete 1d6 hours thereafter, when the victim's head breaks free of the body (which promptly dies) and becomes a vargouille. This transformation's progress is paused by sunlight or any light spell of 3rd level or higher, but stopping the transformation requires remove disease or a similar effect. The transformation is a disease effect. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.
