Despite popular myths, ghouls, or more properly called necrophages, are not, in fact, undead creatures. They are several related species of humanoid monsters, with rows of sharp, poisonous teeth and razor-like claws, which typically feed on corpses, but can and will attack living prey, if given the chance. Their gray, slimy skin helps them blend into the swamps which they usually inhabit and this is what has probably given rise to the legends of them being undead creatures. There are several species of ghouls, ranging in size, the smallest and most common being drowners, which live in swampy environments, but there are also forest-dwelling mistlings and lurks, which prefer rivers and ponds. Ghouls can be extremely dangerous, especially due to their poisonous bite and the fact that they often hunt in packs of between four and six individuals, but like all monsters, are vulnerable to silver. If silver is unavailable, oil extracted from the seeds of the Wolfsbane plant, will also prove a very effective means of dealing with them.
