The Ravenous Undead... Ghouls hunt like predators consumed by insatiable hunger. While they will feed upon corpses when necessary, the scent of living flesh drives them into a frenzy. Their strategy is brutally simple: paralyze and devour. A ghoul's claws carry a supernatural numbness that can freeze victims in place, leaving them helpless but horribly aware. When hunting in packs, ghouls surround paralyzed prey and begin tearing into flesh immediately, not bothering to wait for death. The victim remains conscious through it all, able to feel every bite as the pack feeds...

ghoul

A hunched, emaciated humanoid with long claws and a lashing tongue

"Ghouls are corpse-feeding, undead humanoid predators. They prowl crypts and graveyards, driven by an insatiable craving for flesh. Though feral in small packs, some ghouls appear to retain a cunning spark, luring the living into their gnawing embrace..."
