Creature Craft: Ghouls - by Jim Pinto Ghouls are staples of the undead milieu. Eaters of the dead, they keep graveyards and dungeons clean, while simultaneously almost passing as human (or goblin, depending on the lore). The ultimate scavengers, ghouls are a threat to almost every adventure. And with the paralyzing touch, they can even be a little game-breaking, especially for low-level parties. This sourcebook hopes to address the creatures both in and out of their mechanics, and find a smarter way to include them in your games.
