Ghoul

Basic Information:
Ghouls roam the night in packs, driven by an insatiable hunger for humanoid flesh. A ghoul appeares as an emaciated, roughly humanoid creature with an almost-hairless mottled, decaying hide stretched tight over its bones. It has the sharp teeth of a carnivore and sunken eyes that burnes as if they are hot coals. Ghouls can paralyze their victims with a claw or bite wound, though elves are immune. Paralysis lasts at least a dozen seconds and up to half a minute. Like most types of undead, ghouls are immune to mind affecting spells, such as sleep. The bite of a ghoul also inflicts a terrible disease, ghoul fever, deteriorating health and agility within a day. Any who dies from the illness rises as a ghoul at midnight.
