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


The '''Ghoul''' is a recurring {{Undead}} {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}, introduced in {{DQ2}}.
==Characteristics==
 
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.
It has a stronger attack and more {{HP}} than a [[Walking corpse]], and is able to call for back up if the player is not swift in dispatching it.


==Characteristics==
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.

Ghoul appeared from the beginning of the game. Like before, they are able to call from backup from more of their kind in battle. They are now able to breathe out [[Sweet Breath]] in order to put adventurers to [[Sleep (status)|sleep]] and can place [[curses]] on their opponents, as well.

The Ghoul is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Ghouls are 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 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.

The vile revivifications of rancid cadavers. They feel no pain and wander in search of fresh flesh until they fall apart――an eventuality that might not actually be that far off.

They're pretty strong for stiffs, and although they don't have any special attacks, beware of them bellowing for backup.

When they begin to rot, their breath and nails grow thick with toxins, but these dissipate as they deteriorate further.

Dragon Quest X [edit | edit source]

Ghoul appeared from the beginning of the game. Like before, they are able to call from backup from more of their kind in battle. They are now able to breathe out Sweet Breath in order to put adventurers to sleep and can place curses on their opponents, as well.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit | edit source]

Ghoul appears as a B-rank monster of the Undead family as part of the original Dragon Quest II event. It can be recruited from the Dirkandor stage from "Adventure in the DQII World" at any difficulty, eventually becoming recruitable in the second part of the storyline from Chapter 4, Episode 2: Forms of Appearance. The ghoul can participate in Madusa and Winter Queen's Battle Roads as a party member.
