How Ghouls Work

Ghouls: Cheat Sheet

Ghouls are mythical creatures thought to rob graves and dine on corpses.
The concept of the ghoul originates in the pre-Islamic traditions of the Middle East.
Ghouls are often depicted as shape-shifters.
Humans may become ghouls after being bitten by one of the creatures. Others believe turning into a ghoul is the fate of morbid or wicked people.
If you have to kill a ghoul, remember that the ancient Arabic method calls for no more than a single stroke of the sword. Subsequent blows will only ensure that the creature lives to defeat you.
