Ghoul (Animate Dead)

For the non-playable Race and enemy see Ghoul.

Ghouls are an Undead creature in Baldur's Gate 3.

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.

They are immune to  Demonspirit Madness. This prevents them from being driven  Mad due to a failed Wisdom saving throw when the summoner wears  Abyss Beckoners. Their Claws attack has a fixed save DC of 5 to Paralyse the target, unless the summoner has  Undead Thralls: Better Summons in which case the DC increases to 8.

Involvement

This particular Ghoul type can be created through the level five variant of the  Animate Dead spell,  Animate Dead: Ghoul.
