Ghoul Race
Overview[edit]
Ghouls are undead humanoids who devoured the flesh of corpses.
A ghoul appears as an emaciated, roughly humanoid creature with an almost-hairless mottled, decaying hide stretched tight over its bones. It has the sharp teeth of a carnivore and sunken eyes that burn as if they were hot coals.
AbilitiesEdit Ghouls could paralyze their victims with a claw or bite wound, though elves were immune. Paralysis lasted at least a dozen seconds and up to half a minute.[3]
The bite of a ghoul also inflicted a terrible disease, ghoul fever, deteriorating health and agility within a day. Any who died from the illness rose as a ghoul at midnight.[3]
CombatEdit Ghouls sought to ambush and surprise unwary victims wherever they could, usually hiding behind gravestones or in shallow graves they could swiftly burst out of.[3]
