The '''Ghoul''' is a monster in the series.

 

Ghouls are [[Undead family|undead]] monsters with rotten blue-grey skin, an unkempt mass of grey hair, and red eyes, their mouths agape with drool constantly trailing. Their clothes have begun to rot away on their bodies, wearing either red or burgundy tunics with belts around their waists and dull pink or green trousers that have faded in colour. In their original appearance, they were the strongest variety of the walking dead and even gained the ability to cast simple fire magic against their foes.

 

Later appearances in the series gave ghouls the ability to call upon more of their kind from beyond the grave to aid them in battle, as well as being able to [[poison]] with both their claws and venomous exhalations. According to their monster description in ''X'', ghouls are unable to die normally and thus hold grudges to the world of the living. Their hobby is enfeebling adventurers and watching them suffer. A [[Wikipedia:Ghoul|ghoul]] (غول, ghūl) is a demon-like creature or monstrous being from pre-Islamic Arabian mythology that is said to feast on corpses and is associated with graveyards. In modern fiction, the term is used to refer to a specific type of monster.
