Ghoule are a special form of ghoul that are unique to Gorn alone. Ghoule are created by Necromancers to act as servants, assassins etc, being that they are made from the dead they can do many things that living things cannot do. A Ghoule can remain still for days on end, they are not effected by poison or anything that they would have to breath-because they don’t. They can’t feel pain, so they can’t be tortured for information or anything else. Due to their undead nature, Ghoule have little attachment to other creatures, just loyalty to their master and anyone their master tells them to be loyal to. A Ghoule cannot disobey their creator, there is no way for them to do it-if forced to by magical or other means they simply die (for the last time). In rare instances a Ghoules’ creator will be killed and they will have no master, most of the creators Ghoulies will go mad without direction and will be put down as a mad dog or other unruly creature.

Ghoulies are not alive but they still require food in order to survive, if they do not feed regularly on humanoid flesh they start to decay in rapid fashion. A Ghoule will die in a scant few days without a steady diet of flesh, due to this they are not suited to long journeys. Ghoule look like a corpse and carry the pallor of death about them, they are harassed by flies and other creatures they prey upon carrion.

Ghoule can be controlled as other undead by a priest or paladin. They turn as a skeleton at first level, a Zombie at second level etc. until they reach 13^th level when they turn as a special. This means that low level Ghoule can be instantly destroyed by a high level priest. In addition, Ghoule are effected by holy water/ground just as regular undead.

Despite this large drawback, Ghoule are very powerful creatures. Ghoule regenerate 1 HP every Turn (10 min) and are immune to all the mind effecting spells and have other resistances that regular undead have. They possess supernatural strength and are able to climb wall as a thief of equal level (add +25% if the character is a thief). Ghoulies never get tired and never need sleep, they can run for days on end and keep vigilant watch with no fear of falling asleep.
