Ghouls are undead creatures, once human, who now feed on the flesh of corpses. Although the change from human to ghoul has deranged and destroyed their minds, ghouls have a terrible cunning which enables them to hunt their prey most effectively.Ghouls are vaguely recognizable as once having been human, but have become horribly disfigured by their change to ghouls. The tongue becomes long and tough for licking marrow from cracked bones, the teeth become sharp and elongated, and the nails grow strong and sharp like claws. Their touch causes humans (including dwarves and halflings, but excluding elves) to become rigid unless a Defy Danger versus CON or paralyzation is successful.Ghouls delight in revolting and loathsome things – from which we draw our adjectives “ghoulish” and “ghastly”. Custom Move: When you are touched by a ghoul, ROLL+CON. On a 10+, you keep going. On a 7-9, you choose 1: You don't take -1 ongoing until you rest. Your movements are not slowed down. A part of your body is not paralyzed. On a 6-, you're paralyzed until after the combat. Instinct: Devours living and the dead
