Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Negative Healing

A creature with negative healing draws health from negative energy rather than positive energy. It is damaged by positive damage and is not healed by positive healing effects. It does not take negative damage, and it is healed by negative effects that heal undead.

Consume Flesh One Action (manipulate)

Requirements The ghoul is adjacent to the corpse of a creature that died within the last hour.


Effect The ghoul devours a chunk of the corpse and regains 1d6 Hit Points.

It can regain Hit Points from any given corpse only once.

Ghoul Fever (disease)

Saving Throw DC 15 fortitude


Stage 1 carrier with no ill effect (1 day)

Stage 2 2d6 negative damage and regains half as many Hit Points from all healing (1 day)

Stage 3 as stage 2 (1 day)

Stage 4 2d6 negative damage and gains no benefit from healing (1 day)

Stage 5 as stage 4 (1 day)

Stage 6 dead, and rises as a Ghoul the next midnight.

Paralysis (incapacitation, necromancy, occult)

Any living, non-elf creature hit by a ghoul's attack must succeed at a DC 15 fortitude save or become Paralyzed. It can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each such save.

Swift Leap One Action (move)

The ghoul jumps up to half its Speed. This movement doesn't trigger reactions.


Ghouls are ravenous undead who haunt graveyards and eat corpses.


Few creatures are more ubiquitous to sinister locations such as lonely graveyards and ruined crypts than the flesh-eating undead known as ghouls.
