The Ghoul is a recurring Undead monster in the Dragon Quest series, introduced in Dragon Quest II.
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
Ghouls have rotten blue-grey skin, an unkempt mass of grey hair, and they wear dull red and green rotting clothes. 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 them 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.

| Description
|
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.

Ghouls began appearing 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.

| Field Notes |
Buried bodies brought back to some semblance of life. Strike and slice all you like—their undead flesh feels no pain. They may be teeming with toxins, but their bodies are so rotten anyway that it doesn't make a difference. |
