Ghoul, Common
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Medium, Undead
Effect: A low level undead human like creature that feeds on the dead.
Special: Preparation: — ; Duration: Special
Drawback: ---
Description: Also known as Flesh Eater. Common Ghouls are undead humans who feed on the flesh of corpses. They are vaguely recognized as the humans they once were, but have become horribly disfigured. Ghouls have long, forked tongues, sharp, elongated teeth and strong claws. All Ghouls look vaguely similar and may continue to wear the tattered remains of whatever clothes they had in life. Ghouls are slobbering, flesh-eating maniacs, but they hunt with an evil cunning. While Ghouls feast only on dead flesh, they have no problem with killing something to make it edible. Breaking Vials of holy water in the path of Ghouls will cause them to hesitate one round, then jump over or run around it. Ghouls attack en masse, swarming over prey and digging in with their filthy claws and biting with their fangs. Their touch paralyses humans unless a save vs paralyzation is made. Paralysis lasts for 2d4 rounds or until negated by a Cleanse Paralysis or similar Jutsu. They bite for 7 Armour Points of Damage and Claw for 7 Armour Points of Damage. Any human or killed by a Ghoul becomes one unless blessed or completely destroyed. Ghouls are immune to Sleep and Charm Jutsus. Ghouls are found in graveyards or wherever there are plenty of bodies. One in every 100,000 Ghouls may also retain some Intelligence. However, even these undead will still be overcome with the desire to feast on carrion and will be unable to conduct civilization conversation without munching on carrion first. So far as any civilization folks know, Ghouls can only be created by other Ghouls and Ghasts. The original undead creatures are believed to have been created by the Ghoul King, who dwells somewhere in the underworld. It is rumored that Chaotic Evil creatures can cannibalize the dead may turn into Ghouls. It should be noted, that many of the dead in the world are buried on consecrated ground to prevent Ghouls from defiling their bodies or turning them into ghouls.
Yields: The blood of a Ghoul can be used for Alchemical purposes. A user can gain 2d4 cups of Blood. Ghoul Brain may be used to make an Elixir of Ghoul Control (See Alchemy Ingestibles). An Elixir of Ghoul Control will work on Ghasts, although the Ghasts get a +2 save. 6 cups (6 pounds) of Ghoul Brain can be collected per Ghoul.
Diet: Corpses; Intelligence Low; Activity: Night; Alignment: Chaotic Evil; Organization: Packs; Number Appearing: 2-24; Region: Any Region; Identification: Difficult; Cultivation: Average; Skills: —; Innate Abilities: Darkvision 20 meters. Natural Armour +2. Channel Resistance +2. Stench. Paralysis.
Limit: Must know Monster Lore for Any Regions. 30% chance in finding.
Cost: 0 Ryo per Undead; 800 Ryo per Cup of Blood; 400 Ryo per Ghoul Brain; 16,575 Ryo per Elixir of Ghoul Control.

Kuroki Kenzoburo was out and about on his usual rounds to search the interior of the Land of Waterfalls. His hunt would bring him to various stops and haunts. He was on the prowl for undead for that was his mission in life. But more so this time he was looking for specifics of attacks by Ghouls. Letting populations of those rise to high would be a disaster waiting to happen. So he would search high and low in their favored haunts.
Kuroki, known as Spectre and code named Wraith fire, went on the hunt fully prepared for what he may face. His usual outfit of a large but sleeveless trench coat of dark color was fully drawn up to high his features within. His usual shirt and pants combination and heavy boot were equally dark. A Bandoleer and leg holster adored his chest and leg. It was though his pale white arms that didn't look like skin and his skull knuckled gauntlets on each hand that brought the most attention as he walked. That and what could be seen of his three quarters mask that hid his eyes completely for it was integrated with goggles.
His bandoleer didn't look it but was full of a deadly arsenal. He carried two pouches of Hira Shuriken and two of Bo Shuriken. Then there was the bundles of silk rope and wire he had one each. He had four knives and four kunai slipped in where they fit around his pouches on the bandoleer. His walkie talkie though was attached to his leg holster next to the pouch that carried his flint and and flashlight. In his pocket of his jacket he had a lighter and cigars of course. He never did kick that habit from the streets.
Interestingly he also had several vials of glass in his bandoleer as well as some other odd tools. Like he had a empty small flask attached there and hidden away a glass cutter. In another pocket of his Jacket he had a full pocket's worth of Caltrops. Then he had a compass hidden in his pants pocket. This man was surely oddly arrayed with tools and weapons but the most unusual aspect of him wasn't that.
No the most unusual was he traveled as no better than a ghost himself. He looked like a lich under that mask and Trench Coat with a raised hood. His feet never touched water or even most ground as his stride would be lofted to just above it. Physical barriers were no such thing to him. He was insubstantial and blending into the darkness in which he walked. For it was at night that was best to hunt for ghouls. And his eyes of the planes were better to see them with in these hazy conditions.
No weather really affected this man or half living person. For he had supreme control of his soul and self to where it always felt normal to him.
