Ghouls

Ghouls are undead — humans who have changed and now feed on the flesh of corpses. It's said there's a mess of them in the Vale of Shadows.

They're deranged creatures, but they hunt like wolves and have a certain hunter's cunning when they stalk their prey. They walk hunched, and their hands have changed into long, elongated claws.

Combat

Paralysis

If a ghoul claws a target, it has a chance of paralysing the victim — much like a carrion crawler. If you're unfortunate enough to encounter one, run or try to kill it from a distance.
