About ghouls

Ghouls devour the flesh of corpses and hunger for that of the living. Their claws can cause  paralysis, and they are immune to ⁠Poison damage.

Involvement

Ghouls can be found along the Rosymorn Monastery Trail during Act One.

They can be created by the level 5 necromancy spell,  Animate Dead, which can be learned by wizards and clerics. These ghouls are higher level and have different abilities. See:  Ghoul (Animate Dead).

Another distinct variant of ghouls can be summoned by the special spell  Danse Macabre, which is acquired from reading the  Necromancy of Thay and  The Tharchiate Codex. See:  Ghoul (Danse Macabre).
