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.

Consume Flesh One Action (manipulate)

The ghoul devours a chunk of a creature that died within the last hour and regains 1d6 Hit Points.

The ghoul can regain Hit Points from a given body only once.

Paralysis (necromancy, occult)

Any living creature (except an elf) that takes damage from the ghoul's Strike must succeed at a DC 15 fortitude save or gain the Flat-Footed condition for 1 round and lose its next turn.

If the creature is level 3 or higher, this happens only on a critical failure.

Swift Leap One Action (move)

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


The flesh-eating undead known as ghouls haunt sinister locations such as lonely graveyards and ruined crypts, making meals of corpses. Legends say that even those who survive a ghoul attack risk contracting a fever that eventually transforms them into ghouls.
