==Description==
Ghouls are dumb, but resilient, rotting undead creatures, making good fighters. They have access to special ghoul talents and a wide range of undead abilities:
* Great poison resistance
* Bleeding immunity
* Stun resistance
* Fear immunity
* Special ghoul talents: ghoulish leap, gnaw and retch
The rotting bodies of ghouls also force them to act a bit more slowly than most creatures. (20% global [[speed]] reduction).

Note: Undead are unnatural creatures and may not use [[inscriptions#Infusions|infusions]] or be any [[Wilder (Metaclass)|Wilder]] classes. They do not gain the Harmony skill tree from eating the sandworm queen's heart either.

==Starting Equipment==
*Brass Lantern
*[[inscriptions|Rune: Shielding]]
*Rune: Phase Door

==Starting Location==
[[Blighted Ruins]]

==Racial Talents==
{{:Ghoul_(category)}}

==Strategy==
Somewhat surprisingly, ghouls do need to breathe.

Other stats:
*Poison Immunity 80%
*Cut Immunity 100%
*Stun Immunity 50%
*Fear Immunity 100%
*Global Speed -20%

The global speed penalty is severely crippling for most classes, though their very high life adds a lot of survivability. Ironically, they make for great [[Sun Paladin]]s because the class profits greatly from the huge life bonus.
