Ghoulish Creature

Back to Monster Templates

This template can be applied to any Race to create nonstandard Ghouls. In many cases these creatures can exist in society for a limited time before their true nature becomes revealed. Canny Ghouls can learn to hide their habits and nature to become powerful members of society. Rare instances have occured where groups of Ghouls have even managed to create secret societies who can influence the decisions of kingdoms.
