Special Qualities: Transparent Flesh makes difficult to hit |
These Newhon humanoids are almost totally transparent, save for their pinkish skeletons. Their unsavory diets make them unpopular with other races, but they rationalize cannibalism as an act of kindness by which muddy-fleshed humans are transformed into superior, crystal flesh.Ghouls never wear clothing nor any armor beyond the most minimal weapons-harness.Ghoulish fighters may use any weapon, but seem to have a preference for two-handed axes.The transparent nature of ghoul flesh makes it harder to locate their vital spots. Nehwon ghouls live in a great city on the shores of the Sea of Monsters, emerging periodically to make war upon human cities. They have very little fear of death – in Fafhrd’s opinion, this was because they were so close to skeletons that actually dying was only a short step away. Ghouls consider themselves paragons of civilization and enlightenment. Other races need to be civilized by being eaten. Humans are referred to as “mud-men” since ghouls consider normal flesh muddy and impure. Ghouls can occasionally overcome their cannibalistic natures to join human adventuring bands. They can be overbearing at times as they consider themselves more civilized than lesser, “barbaric”, races. Ghouls generally consume only the flesh of animals, but consider humans and other intelligent races to be a delicacy (consuming another ghoul is considered, at best, rather poor behavior). Instinct: Raid and consume lesser races
