Ghouls are low-level corporeal undead known for eating the rotting or rotted corpses of the dead and are often found in graveyards. However, their preference for eating decomposed bodies does not prevent them from attacking live prey. Although ghouls vaguely resemble the humanoids they once were, undeath has warped them in both mind and body, growing long teeth and claws. Their bite and claws can cause paralysis, except for elves. Unlike many other undead, ghouls are not solitary and dwell in packs.[1]
Ghouls are considered to be Walking Dead and Hungry Dead.[2]
