From Witcher Wiki
The zeugl inhabits the sewers beneath Vizima, feeds 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.
Geralt hunted down a zeugl during his and Yennefer's stay in Aedd Gynvael.

"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."

- According to Geralt just before they enter the sewers, zeugls are hermaphrodites that don't need a mate to procreate. In a hilarious conversation with Siegfried, he intimates that "zeugls don't need a Mrs. Zeugl to make little zeugls. The do it with themselves." To which Siegfried responds "That's sick! ... unnatural even for beasts!"
- Geralt can still extract Zeugl's 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.)
