Ghasts are a more powerful form of ghoul. Cursed upon death, they started as ghouls, but evolved through successful hunting and age, some becoming ancient. But even success and age cannot release the ghast from the ravenous, gnawing hunger for living flesh suffered by all ghouls. In fact, it's hunger has become stronger. Like ghouls, a ghast is a sentient form of undead, but the ghast's long undeath has left it with only a few, fading memories of it's former life. However, the ghast has evolved an ability to feed upon the memories of it's prey. This only adds to it's already insatiable hunger and desire for more victims. Ghasts lead packs of ghouls, haunting graveyards, battlefields, crypts, and any place where bodies are discarded or left unattended. Except for their powerful stench, ghasts are almost indistinguishable from ghouls. Instinct: To feed, always to feed

• Stink to high heaven
• Strike swiftly and silently from the shadows
• Paralyze prey with a bit (elves are immune)
• Feast on helpless victims and gain their memories
